Wheelhouse Shawl is part of the Wheelhouse Collection which includes Wheelhouse Shawl, Wheelhouse Cowl and Wheelhouse for your Head!

Wheelhouse Shawl… a new design in which I go outside of my wheelhouse to knit a colorwork steeked shawl!

Wheelhouse is worked in the round from the top down. It has a center back panel flanked by two triangles that create the shawl shaping.

There is a steeking section at the beginning and end of the round that, when cut, creates the fringe. The pattern includes photos that explain this technique along with videos to teach you how to steek and fringe!
