The Arrowsmith Shawl is a top-down triangular shawl knit with three colours of DK weight yarn. The large chevron panel near the border is the star of the show and uses slipped stitches to create the subtle, yet striking, pattern. This shawl is the perfect opportunity to play with colour, though the play in textures would look stunning knit in a single colour as well. I’ve decorated the ends of my shawl with three different coloured tassels, but feel free to keep them all the same, or leave them off entirely!

Named after Mount Arrowsmith, a peak on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
