With long, sweeping lines that intersect in a bold central motif, this unusual small shawl’s best feature is the opportunity it provides to play with color.

This unique construction, inspired by quilting, starts with a central triangle worked side to side. You then pick up and knit stitches along the sides of the triangle, and build the shawl outwards in the same way that a quilter adds sequential strips of fabric to make a log cabin quilt block.

Choose a subtle gradient, pops of bright color, or bust your stash – this shawl works well with solids, semi-solid, and variegated yarns – perfect for using up sock yarn leftovers, too!
