Catkin Shawl from Carina Spencer
This unique design is knit seamlessly from the top down in three sections:
Section One is knit in crescent shape with or without contrasting lines of garter stitch.
Section Two begins a chevron texture pattern punctuated by lines of slipped stitches and raglan increases.
Section Three the slipped lines bloom into catkins that dance along the hem among contrasting garter stripes. A single leaf hangs at the tip of each corner.
there is no 2-stranded colorwork knitting; only one color is worked at any given time and the only color changes are striping.
Pattern is 13 pages long. Includes tutorials to help with tricky stitches.
Skill Level: Intermediate. Pattern includes written and charted instructions, but comfort with chart reading is a must.
