The textures, colors, and motion of melting snow are what inspired this designer to create the three-color Stratus Shawl. The 100% Targhee wool yarn is completely traceable, from the sheep that live in Montana and South Dakota to the spinning and dyeing processes that take place in Maine.

NOTES

  • This shawl is worked back and forth from the top down.

  • A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.

  • If a marker is next to a yarnover, take care that it does not migrate underneath the yarnover and out of position.

  • The first time you work Chart B, there will be enough stitches to work the 12-stitch repeat only once in each chart section. The second time you work Chart B, the stitch count will have increased enough to work the 12-stitch repeat twice in each chart section. As the stitches continue to increase, work the repeat one more time in each chart section each time you begin the chart again at Row 1.
