The Electric Blues shawl is dramatic not only in colors and textures but also in shape. See the knit kit options below…

A little drama is a good thing. So this bold shawl is knitted flat in relaxing garter stitches but don’t think that this is a boring project. There are surprising twists awaiting. For instance knitting into different directions and increasing gradually to a long curvy tip into to a pretty good size.

The styling options are abundant. The blocked size 90”in overall length and 16” at its deepest.

The pattern is fully written and offers a phot tutorial.
