Originally knit as our second Stunning Mystery Society knit-along for 2019 based virtually in Australia.

This is a single-color shawl, knit in luscious sport weight yarn. You can choose from two sizes: Small or Large and three shapes: Triangle, ¾ Square or Square.

Stunning String Studio has Down Under Kits in your choice of over 200 colors, complete with stitch markers, a cable needle, the pattern and some extras. You can choose yours here.

The pattern discussions will be in the Wild Prairie Knits group, so come and join us.

Skills Needed
Pattern is fully written out and charted. The stitches used are basic, so it is a relaxing knit, but with enough detail to keep you interested. Basic knit increases and decreases (yo, k2tog, ssk) are included, but anything beyond that will be explained. We will be offering a good introduction to working cables.
