This is a thin, crescent shaped, sideways shawl that was specifically designed for long self-striping yarn. It was inspired by a beautiful skein of self-striping yarn, “ Preservation Hall”, hand dyed by Susan of Desert Vista Dyeworks, that reminded me of Miami Dolphins team colors. A solid or a tonal yarn would certainly show off the detail of the border, as well as a gradient, or color block. Every sports fan should have a striped shawl in their favorite team colors. This shawl is the perfect accessory to compliment your sports fan attire. It’s Game Day!

SHAPE: Thin crescent

NOTIONS: 2 stitch markers. Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

PATTERN STYLE: The pattern contains written as well as chart instructions. There is a key and full abbreviation list included as well.

DIFFICULTY: Advanced Beginner

YARN:This pattern was specifically designed for long striping yarn. A solid or a tonal yarn would certainly show off the detail of the border, as well as a gradient, or color block.

SIZE: 65” x 15” (Blocked and unpinned)

NOTE: You will need to weigh your yarn on a scale before you start, and as you knit this shawl. If you are not using a scale, you MUST swatch to get gauge and follow the repeats of the sample.

The beauty of the construction of this shawl is you can make as small or as large as you would like, repeating the sections according to your OWN skein’s yardage, enabling you to use very close to the entire skein of yarn.
