Vector Field is a fun and easy knit. It is perfect for knitting in front of the TV, long road trips, or drinking wine! The repeats are short, intuitive, and easy to memorize.

You will need only 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn. You can use high contrast colors, mid-range contrast, solids with variegated, 2 semi-solids together, gradients, ombres. Do you have a hand-painted yarn, that is “being difficult” and doesn’t want to be anything but a colorful mess? That one can be tamed too! Just pair it with contrasting solid and you’re good to go!

The shawl is a slightly asymmetrical triangular shape, knitted sideways. The pattern can be worked from written instructions or charts. The pattern is written to use most of both colors, but you can adjust the size of the shawl, by working more or fewer repeats in each section.
