Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion inspired this one: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” I wanted a shawl whose design reversed at the mid-way point. I certainly went through many different ideas before I got one that worked the way I wanted, and this one just flew off my needles without a hitch. This design, the fourth in my Scientist shawl collection, features a garter body, worked center out and a lacy border that is worked sideways and connected to the body as it’s worked. The pattern was written for one skein of sock yarn (see schematic in pattern photos at left for finished measurements), but includes instructions on how to upsize the shawl.

The Scientists shawl collection features four patterns released between November 2014 and January 2015. You may purchase each pattern individually or as part of the collection. All patterns in the collection include both charted and written instructions as well as guidance for adjusting the size of the shawls as needed. Schematics noting the sizes can be found in the pattern photos for each pattern.

Please keep in mind that if you buy the patterns individually, you will not get discounts or credits given towards the eBook purchase price after purchasing individual patterns.
