The sample was knit using the SO BOLD kit by Cat & Sparrow Australia. If you would like to use the same yarn for your project you can purchase a kit that also includes a download code for the pattern from Cat & Sparrow Australia here

Burst is a wide triangle shaped shawl designed for that colourful DK weight (8ply) yarn that you can’t resist buying, but maybe struggle to find a way to showcase its beauty. The Burst shawl is specifically designed to highlight the very best of what variegated yarns have to offer, wonderful blending of many colours, as well as an opportunity for every colour to have its chance to shine. It is super-relaxing to knit, engaging with short sections that make you want to keep knitting and enjoying your yarn, and has simple stitchwork for ease and fun.

This pattern contains full written instructions with stitch counts for every row, and a tick-sheet showing all the details (including colour-placement) to work the whole pattern from once started.
