The Harvest Shawl is inspired by these fields that stretch across the rows of hills surrounding my home. A wheat-sheaf pattern alternates with garter stitch sections to gently transition to the next color. Designed to be knit at a gradient, it is perfect to use for an Advent kit or a selection of leftover yarn. By knitting one color a day, the shawl can be easily knit in the busiest month of the year: December. Each color is a manageable amount of daily knitting. The shawl is worked as two separate triangles that are grafted together at the end to form one large triangle.
