Available as part of Point/Counterpoint Volume 5. Two designers + two yarns = inspiration through collaboration. Each designer independently created an accessory, then sent only a photo of the finished object to the other. In response, the designers used the same yarn to create a new accessory inspired by the first, thus making a set. The only limit is their creativity! As of 10/25/20, this pattern is also available for purchase

Yorkshire Meadow is a 150g shawl is designed to bring a pop of color to your wardrobe, while remaining wearable and versatile. It is large enough to wrap up in, without taking as long to knit as other multi-skein projects.

It is knit top-down using mostly knit and purl stitches & basic increases. Learn the knit one below technique using the video tutorial linked in the pattern. Use one full skein plus a leftover 50g skein to bust through some stash. Have more yarn? The last section is knit in garter and easy to adjust. This pattern has been tech edited so I hope you’ll find it easy to follow.
