As a child, I spent hours in mesmerized wonder, peering through a kaleidoscope and marveling at its ever-changing play of light, shapes, and colors. Kaleidos shawl attempts to translate that experience into knitting, through a playful exploration of color and form.

The name Kaleidos comes from the Ancient Greek roots:
Kalos – beauty
Eidos – that which is seen: form, shape
Together, they evoke the idea of “beautiful
forms.”

PATTERN NOTES
♡ Kaleidos is a two-color shawl worked in slipped stitches, also known as mosaic knitting. This technique uses only one color per row, making it a relatively approachable way to explore colorwork.
♡ The shawl construction begins at one tip with just a few cast-on stitches and grows through increases along one edge while working the mosaic motifs.
♡ Increases are done on the RS rows.
♡ The pattern incorporates 2-stitch slip stitch edging throughout.
♡ Written as well as charted instructions are provided.
♡ Charts show only RS rows.
♡ A row tracker (tracks RS only) is provided at the end of the pattern.
♡ You may work more or fewer repeats of chart A to for a wider or narrower motif section.
