If you find yourself unsure of what to do with all your scrap and waste yarn, this project is perfect for you. I’ve designed a random stripe pattern that you can easily customize – the color options are limitless. While the sample shawl features three colors, feel free to incorporate more colors into your pattern if you prefer.

The color pattern is charted, but you can easily follow along without needing advanced chart-reading skills. Everything else is clearly written out. You won’t need to cut any yarn during the knitting process; instead, you’ll effortlessly thread your yarns through the i-cord edge (a photo tutorial for this is provided).
