This design is a modern take on the classic shawl and is knit from end to end. The blunt ends and simple texture make it suitable for any gender. To keep things interesting, there is a colour block section that is offset from the center. The generous finished size ensures a cozy and warm addition to any wardrobe. Fold it in half, tuck the ends through the loop and your shawl is styled and ready for any destination.

Yarn Requirements
This pattern uses two full skeins of DK weight yarn and five mini skeins of fingering weight yarn. The fingering weight yarn is held double, but don’t feel limited by only mini skeins! This is also a perfect scrap-busting project. You can also substitute the fingering weight yarns held together for a single skein of DK weight yarn for the colour block section.

These are the yarns used in the sample.
