Unicorn Party
Fun to knit and a blast to wear, Unicorn Party puts garter stitch to work mixing up colors in your favorite multicolor skein before adding colorful mini skeins of sock yarn (your best leftovers, color packs, unicorn tails) for the edging. Thoughtful details and helpful notes will make this small shawl your new fave to knit and to wear. The only limit on this party is your imagination.
What you’ll love about knitting Unicorn Party:
- Starting at the bottom with three stitches and following my notes means no fear of running out of yarn
- This is a perfect stash buster . Grab your favorite leftovers or rock one of those gorgeous gradient packs that have taken the knitting world by storm and have a party!
- Garter stitch makes for great social knitting, plus it breaks up the pooling that can occur with speckled and hand-dyed yarns - have fun knitting yourself a Unicorn Party at a party ;)
What you’ll love about wearing Unicorn Party:
- Color party! Knit and wear yourself a rainbow or a gradient or a mix of your favorite colors
- You get a squishy cozy fabric from Garter stitch - fantastic for keeping you warm and colorful any time of year
- Shallow triangle shape makes it perfect to wear as a shoulder shawl, scarf, or bandit-style neck warmer
