Knitters and hockey players have this in common: sticks!

Score a gorgeous shawl using your favourite Ancient Arts Hat Trick hockey yarn and following the coaching of Canadian designer, Holli Yeoh.

Show off your stick work with this easy shawl—you can work on it at the rink, and when it’s finished it will keep you warm during the game. This hot shawl comes in three sizes and really is an enjoyable knit. Stockinette gets it going and variations of the Feather and Fan stitch pattern give it lots of interest. Knit it in your favourite team colours and wear it with pride. You knit, you score!

Pattern instructions for the lace work are both charted and written out. (Thanks, Holli!) This pattern also includes detailed directions, pro tips, and photos clearly showing stitch patterns.
