This is a pattern for a triangle shawl worked in the round and using the stranded colourwork technique. It is intended for knitters who are comfortable with HUGE complex charts and you are welcome to join the knit along in my bunnymuff group.

Find some lovely yarn at 5 Sisters in jumper weight or fine-fingering.

Join us in the bunnymuff group or as a free bunnymuff Patreon member to knit along and chat! There is a bonus link to my tutorial on the technique I used to catch floats on the Welcome page. I am keeping the pattern in mkal clue format, for easier use, at this time.

You will need long circular needles for this project, if you want to work it and the edge in the round. I recommend 40 - 60 in / 102 - 152 cm cables.

Changing the weight of the yarn, gauge, and/or knitting style may change the approximate yarn amounts.
