This pattern was originally exclusive to the 2019 December Holiday Gift sets from SweetGeorgia Yarns and is now being made available to all!

Fifteen hues in rich jewel tones are enough to delight anyone, but the added blend of lace and easy colourwork takes it over the top. Knitters of every level will find pure joy in working this asymmetrical triangular shawl.

Select two of our Party of Five kits to make this shawl.
One Brighter option would be: Picnic in the Park, and Secret Garden.
A more muted version would be: Spilling Secrets and Sea to Sky.

PATTERN NOTES
This shawl is worked sideways, beginning with a few stitches and increasing gradually along one edge.
The colours are labeled in the pattern as: A - Peridot, B - Kryptonite, C - Olivine, D - Serpentine, E - Malachite,
F - Peacock, G - Azurite, H - Velvet Elvis, I - Aubergine, J - Jewel, K - Lollipop, L - Rubine, M - Red Rock, N - Garnet, and O - Amber.
You can work more or fewer rows within each section without it affecting the look of the pattern (just the stitch counts).
Simply ensure you have enough to work a full 3 st increase over 4 rows.
The Lace and Colour stitch patterns are both written (see Stitches Used) and charted (pages 3-4) for your preference.
