After designing the Magpie MKAL I could not stop thinking about its construction and knew I needed to design a shawl using it.

So like the MKAL, Magpie Shawl starts with two mitered triangles joined at their tips. Then each wing is worked out, first with short rows and then with gently decreasing stripes.

In the end you have made a generously sized triangular shawl with a whole new construction!

Play with color: Magpie works with 2 solids, or 1 solid and 1 variegated or gradient yarn… the sky is the limit!

You will need light fingering or fingering weight yarn
420 yards MC- Main Color
400 yards CC- Contrasting Color (you can use a solid, variegated or gradient for the CC)
