The Mariposa Knit Shawl is an intermediate-level top-down triangle shawl knitting pattern designed by Marly Bird.

This shawl features bold color transitions, textured stitch patterns, lace knitting, and a dramatic wavy border that creates a beautiful finished edge.

Beginning with a garter tab cast-on, the shawl increases along the edges and center spine while transitioning through multiple stitch patterns including textured stitches, lace, and seed stitch.

The shawl finishes with a lengthwise worked lace border that is joined to the shawl body as you knit, creating a unique and elegant edge.

The finished result is a cozy, colorful shawl that is perfect for layering and everyday wear.
