Select four colors of fingering weight yarn and knit this fabulously graphic garter stitch shawl. Each section is knit individually while being attached to a previous section for a completely seamless modular project. Begin at the top center of the shawl with short row wedges, and then enjoy the color pop triangles and rectangle bars. The pattern includes a schematic illustration to help you visualize each section and plan your colors. Knit your Pinwheel Pop Shawl with four colors or create an adventurous multi-color version!
