Knitted out of the softest chunky alpaca imaginable, the Marie shawl offers a fun and easy way to play with color. Believe it or not, this beauty uses just one color per row (yes!!!) to create garter stripes, a cool mosaic pattern, and interesting colorful lace.

Join this fun knitalong with Melissa and her friends as we work through 3 separate sections of this amazing asymmetrical shawl. We will have optional live get-togethers via Zoom for each clue so I can demonstrate tricky sections and answer your knitting questions.

This purchase is for the pattern only.

The knitalong kit is available from your LYS or through the link below and includes four hanks of Juniper Moon Farm’s gorgeous Herriot Great in your choice of two colorways, four clues sent out weekly via email and Ravelry, free live Zoom sessions for demos and Q & A, and eligibility for amazing door prizes!
