Magpie was originally released as a Mystery KAL in Dec of 2013. Because of this there is a HUGE amount of advice and help for knitting this pattern in my Ravelry group.

Join me May 12th 2021 for my 15th MKAL Open Minds MKAL

Magpie can be a scarf, a shawl OR a shrug… you choose! Magpie is worked from the center out in two mirrored mitered triangles. The triangles are then “built out” on each side to create the arms. Of course Magpie can be worked without beads and it will still be stunning!
