New Pattern

Swaying Palms Shawl

This warm weather, cotton-blend shawl pattern is perfect for travel knitting or travel wearing. The asymmetric, three sided design features a sawtooth edge and delicate picot bind off. Knit with two yarn colors, the three easily memorizable stitch elements in the pattern combine stockinette stitch, simple lace and contrasting garter ridges in a way that will motivate you to knit just one more row.

Use code sway for $1 off the pattern through September 30, 2023.
