The asymmetric Join The Dots Shawl combines a great way to blend beautiful mini-skein shades with an interesting elongated stitch pattern. The shawl is knitted in garter stitch with an enlarged eyelet pattern worked in the subsequent shade. To make the enlarged eyelets, the needle is inserted into a yarn over made 3 rows below. A loop of yarn is pulled through from back to front and placed onto right hand needle. On the following row, the yarn loop is knitted together with the next stitch.

In the first pattern section, the enlarged eyelets are made with one loop of yarn pulled through each eyelet. In the second pattern section, three loops of yarn are pulled through each eyelet, further enlarging the holes. The shawl begins with the eyelets placed closely together, forming an openwork lattice. The eyelets gradually spread out to show more of the colour work stripes.
