SKILL LEVEL:
Adventurous Beginner - This pattern is for those knitters who are comfortable with basic knit stitches and are ready to learn some new skills. Skills/concepts include garter tab cast on, slipped stitches, and basic increases.
Notes from the Designer:
Kamalak means “rainbow” in the Uzbek language. This semicircular shawl features simple slipped stitches across many colors, creating both vertical and horizontal stripes. The shawl begins with a garter tab at the top center and progresses from simple increases and stockinette stitch to garter stitch and slipped stitches. Colors change only at the end of a row. Just six increase rows are spaced throughout the body so that you can enjoy playing with colors without worrying about an ever-changing stitch count.

- Gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect yardage and size.
- The pattern uses 14 colors but can be made with fewer if preferred. Total yards / meters used for our sample: approximately 980 yds / 890 m (MC1: 382 yds / 349 m, MC2: 250 yds / 229 m, CC: 29 yds / 26 m each).
- The shawl begins with a Garter Tab Cast On. Instructions for this method are included in Special Stitches on page 4, and you can watch a video tutorial for this technique here.
- All slipped stitches are slipped purlwise. .
Designed by Janica York Carter
