Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Are you ready to take a chance on the toss of the dice? Each section of this shawl is determined by the numbers that you roll. One chooses the color of the yarn you’ll use, and the other picks one of six different stitch patterns. Start with six different colored skeins of your favorite DK weight yarn then let Lady Luck set your course.

This is a faded version of my And Just Like That shawl, inspired by Carrie’s shlanket from the tv show. Using two strands of worsted weight yarn allows for subtle changes in color as you work from the top down. I used five colors of Cozy Color Works yarn to create a generously sized shawl that will keep you warm wherever you are.
