The shawl-along is complete, but you can still view the YouTubes. All links are in the pattern.

With mosaic knitting and lace, this shawl is full of great techniques!


Questions and Answers:.

Q: Which color should be used to swatch? A: Less of Color 3 (natural) is used, so there’s more leeway there.

Q: Do I have to cut my yarn after swatching? I might need to use it. A: You don’t need to cut it! You can knit a little extra on your swatch so that you can wash the swatch and pin it to dry while still on the needle! It’s easier to do this if you use a circular needle, as you can put the stitches on the cable and stretch the swatch more. After you’ve gotten your measurements, just unravel the swatch and then steam out the kinks to get the yarn ready to use again!

This shawl was designed using four colors of Coastal yarn, a lovely silk/merino/linen blend created by Elemental Affects and Sincere Sheep! Each skein is 200 yards, and it knits up as a sport weight yarn with a lovely drape and crispness. I’ve loved using it for mosaic!

The pattern was released digitally in five installments, and there is a YouTube live introduction with tips and tricks!

Feel free to substitute yarn, but please do not choose a yarn with less than 205 yards. Note when choosing colors: one of the colors needs to contrast well with each of the other three so that the mosaic pattern will show up properly.
