I chose three skeins of matching colors to knit this pattern. It was only when I saw the colors blend together that the inspiration for the name came to me! These colors reminded me of a childhood treat: three-colored chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla taffy. ❤️

NOTES - This shawl is knitted by alternating three colors from beginning to end. To avoid cutting the yarns each time the color changes, I knit the first stitch of the right side rows only with all three yarns together. From the 2nd stitch onwards, I continued as normal with the color indicated in the instructions.
Since this pattern comprises several motifs, the stitch patterns are only shown in a chart form. Pay attention to the yarn colors (A, B or C) used throughout the pattern.
