The Anna Karenina shawl is part of The Tolstoy Collection, three shawls by Kino Knits. These shawls showcase one, two, and three colors, respectively. All three shawls feature large sections of garter while interspersing different textures, shapes, or color play.

The Anna Karenina shawl is perfect for using up that special skein. Knit side-to-side in uncomplicated garter stitch, it can showcase a variety of dye techniques – be it solid, tonal, speckled, or even variegated. A little lace edging adds a touch a sweetness. Easily adaptable to any yardage – just knit to the halfway point as weighed on a gram scale, then work the second half.
