Westknits patterns are all about making them your own, so this year’s Yarn A Long theme, Knit Your Own Adventure, embraces colour customizations and design choices, resulting in a new shawl you are bound to love.

Select a sequence of five fingering weight colors and fade them from light to dark. Each section of this shawl includes two stitch patterns to choose from. Make the shawl your own by choosing your favorite stitch pattern in each of the ten total sections, resulting in 100 possible combinations. You will discover texture options like twisted ribbing, cables, smock stitch, brioche, and more!
