The Cloudburst shawl is a garter stitch asymmetrical triangle shape with panels of lace presented in 2 style versions. It is designed for fingering weight yarns with easy customisation to different yarn weights and lace content. This design was created during the Whackalong MKAL 2019 aimed at encouraging the use of handspun yarns, and is also great for using mini skeins, stash-busting, and using up any leftovers from other projects. I do recommend a solid colour for the lace panels, but all other colour styles and spin styles are suitable for the main body of the shawl so get creative!

Along with written instructions, charts are provided, as well as a ticksheet for planning your knit and keeping track of your progress.
