Pippi Longstocking was an inspiring book character to create a shawl around. Never afraid of a challenge, Pippi would undoubtedly choose at least three colors for a shawl! Worked from the top center out, this pattern is easy and fun to knit. Wrap and turn short rows are used to create curves (no picking up wraps necessary). The curvy shape of this shawl wears well draped over the shoulders or wrapped as a scarf.

Bust your stash and choose complimentary or contrasting colors to achieve very different looks. This project can also be worked with just two colors. Combine CC1 and CC2 for a 2-color version with no stripes, or combine the MC and CC2 for a striped two-color version! Check out the variety of combinations under “projects” for inspiration.
