A shawlette version of the Pier shawl design has been added to the pattern file. When you download Pier pattern you will get two separate files, one for the original shawl and the other one for a shawlette version. If you have bought this pattern previously, an automated update with both shawl versions will be send to you.

Pier is a unisex shawl knitted sideways seamlessly in a simple garter stitch. This design takes advantage of the difference in stripes position to one another in the border and the body of the shawl. This shawl is a great beginner project and a nice relaxing project for the experienced knitters. There are just a few short rows and absolutely no stitches to be picked up for the border. The body and the border are knitted at once. Choose your favorite colors and have fun knitting Pier.
