Need a relaxing project that adds a POP to your outfit? Mended Blues explores simple slipped stitches to create a striking motif that is so chill to knit it will bring calm to even the craziest day.

This entirety of this simple knit shawl pattern is worked in garter stitch—even the mosaic element. The pattern plays with simple increases and decreases to create beautiful shaping. And it’s worked from the widest edge back to the tip--so you’ll never get bored!
