Give Me the Slip is a gorgeous shawl! It is knit side to side in a long biased rectangle, and the beautiful mosaic stitch pattern is created with slipped stitches. Only one color is worked per row, so it’s an easy first foray into colorwork.

I used a solid main color paired with a 6-color gradient set from Miss Babs, but you can use any number of contrast colors from just one to an entire stash clean-out! As written, the shawl is 60” (150cm), but can be bound off at any time, longer or shorter.

Check out my coordinating shawl design, Forgive My Lunacy, and get both shawls for just $7.50 through Monday!

Size: 18” x 60” (46cm x 152cm).

Needles: US 5 / 3.75mm, or size to obtain gauge.

Gauge: 20 sts and 24 rows = 4”/10cm in Broken Glass stitch pattern, blocked and dried. Differences in gauge will affect size, drape, and yardage requirements.

Yarn: fingering weight:
MC: 600 yards / 550 meters;
CC total: 800 yards / 734 meters.

Any number of CCs can be used, from just one to a whole stash clean-out. The Miss Babs sample used 6 CCs of 133 yards (38g) each.

Notions: tapestry needle to weave in ends.

Sample knit in: Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply (100% superwash Merino; 400 yards/ 110g) in Half Past Midnight (MC) and Turned Into a Newt Gradient Set (6 CCs).
