Designed for Year 12 (2021-2022) Pro-Verbial Shawl Club from A Verb For Keeping Warm

Peach Pit is a stranded colorwork shawl with a modern motif reminiscent of cut peaches. Wear as a shoulder wrap or stylish bandana!

Knit in the round with paired increases to create a triangle, an i-cord bind-off finishes the widest and final edge. Steek stitches at the side edges, once cut, are unraveled to create a festive fringe.

Knit with three colors, the background contrasting markedly from the two-color ‘peach pits’. The color possibilities are endless!
