Mesa Verde Shawl
This boomerang-shaped shawl begins with a short cast-on edge. It is shaped with increases on every row along one side, and decreases on every other row on the opposite side, to create an elongated, slightly curved shape. It features rows of stockinette stripes an a simple slip-stitch textured pattern. The pattern is presented in written form (not charted).
Yarn Requirements: You will need 200 yards of 2 colorways in a fingering weight yarn to knit the sample as shown. The sample is shown in Wild Ginger (MC - natural) and Conifer (CC - green).
Inspiration: Mesa Verde is the largest archealogical site in the US. The National Park, created in 1908, preserves the numerous cliff dwellings and village ruins of the indigenous Ancient Pueblo people. These natural-colored rock and adobe structures blend almost seamlessly into the cliffs surrounding them, topped by the green sage-covered flat mesa above them.
NOTES: On Row 23 there will be some repeats where you will not always have 3 stitches remaining after following the pattern repeat. If only 2 stitches remains, simply k2tog.
