Westknits patterns are all about making them your own, so this year’s Yarn A Long theme, Knit Your Own Adventure, embraces colour customizations and design choices, resulting in a new shawl you are bound to love.

Choose three colors of fingering weight yarn in contrasting colors to knit this symmetrical shawl. Begin at the point and work gradual increases as you knit sideways. The main color (Color A) frames the entire shawl with crisp twisted ribbing. Enjoy an assemblage of stripes and slip stitches as you work all the fun two-color stitch patterns. You will experience a bounty of woven slip stitches, bubbles, simple stripes, and more! Customize the size of your shawl adventure by stopping the increases early for a small size or knit the large size with extra sections of Daisy Stitch and Slip Stitch Columns. This collage of stitches keeps you entertained as you look forward to each new pattern.
