DETAILS
Wrap yourself in color and texture with this striking shawl pattern based on the Night & Day Cowl. Designed with dynamic colors and a playful stitch motif, this project is as fun to knit as it is to wear. Perfect for adventurous beginners and seasoned knitters alike, this shawl is a bold statement piece full of texture! This shawl is knit sideways, increasing up to the widest part of the triangle and then decreasing back down.

SUGGESTED YARN
For this shawl I chose a squishy, woolen-spun, DK weight yarn as yarn A. The woolly nature of this yarn blocks out beautifully with this stitch pattern and is very cozy and warm. To add interest and depth, I paired it with hypnotic color changes in a soft, worsted-spun yarn.
