The Dandelion Stitch Sampler Shawl is both process and product knitting. A fun, crescent shaped shawl, Dandelion is comprised of ten different stitch patterns interspersed with soothing stocking stitch. You may not have encountered all these stitch patterns before – but they are fun to work, and best of all you only have to work them once before moving on to the next one. Knit with just two skeins of Madelinetosh Dandelion - this yarn has an amazing jewel-like depth of colour and a very subtle variegation. The luminescent beauty of this yarn enhances the unusual stitch patterns, and a classic feather and fan border finishes the shawl off in a pretty, scalloped embrace.
