Do you have a beautiful hand dyed skein of yarn that you love so much, but it’s not enough for a shawl? Pair it with a solid colorway and make this shawl!
That’s a pretty quick and easy knit with a gorgeous result!

This shawl is worked on a bias in Stockinette stitch with knot stitches and garter stripes. Knot stitches are these cute, small holes that look like bees or small butterflies. The garter edging is worked side-to-side, because honestly I hate binding off shawls. But don’t be intimidated by applied edgings, I made a video tutorial for you!

The pattern includes video tutorial for an applied edging, photo and video tutorial for a knot stitch, photo and video tutorial for backwards loop cast-on method, stitch count table, charts and written instructions.

The pattern was tech edited and test knitted.
