Missed Connections is a smallish elongated triangle knit from tip to edge. This design includes an integral loop and button closure, allowing you to style it as a shawlette or as a cowl … a showl! The striking arrow pattern is achieved using the mosaic technique whereas you’ll work just one strand of yarn per row. Missed Connections also features neat and tidy I-cord edges and two color I-cord bind off.

Due to the large scale of the arrow patterning, the mosaic colorwork is charted only. The pattern includes a video link to guide you with reading mosaic charts and a photo tutorial with step by step instructions to make the I-cord loop closure. Standard and Inverted color charts are included for the main patterning.

For those preferring a large shawl, the pattern also includes instructions to make a LRG full sized shawl version. (more details below)
