Crossroad Shawl blends bold geometric lines with a soothing knitting rhythm. Worked in just two colors, this design combines striking stripes and mosaic sections to create a visually dynamic piece that’s a joy to knit and wear.
The construction is simple and intuitive. The shawl is knit flat, gradually increasing stitches every other row. It begins with stripes, and as the stitch count grows, mosaic sections are introduced where space allows. The final size is easily adjustable based on the yarn and yardage you choose.
