The Cubist Shawl is a celebration of modular knitting. The playful arrangement of triangles nods to the geometric shapes seen in the work of Gris and Picasso. Worked in high contrast shades of Uni Merino and Uni Merino Mini, this shawl is a cozy, wearable work of art!

PATTERN NOTES
This shawl is worked in a modular fashion. Stitches are picked up from previous triangles and new triangles are joined as you go.
When picking up stitches along the sides of previous triangles, do not pick up and knit, just pick up the slipped stitches along the edge with a spare needle. Pick up just the top loop of each slipped stitch. Slip all stitches purlwise unless otherwise indicated.

Knit all yarnovers through the back loop to close up the holes.
