This short row shawl looks lovely in either a long transition mutli-colorway or in placed color OR with bits and pieces from your stash.
Instructions are expressed in a new and unique method which I developed and that most American knitters are familiar with. The instructions let you know when you are on the right side or wrong side and gives extensive stitch counts. For some, it takes away a lot of the confusion sometimes found in other expressions of short rows.
This kCDesign offers both Butterfly and the Moth variation. Note that it will take a few minutes to create your project after tapping Knit Now. Please be patient and let the system work.
Yarn Choice: This shawl is knit in FINGERING WEIGHT yarn.
The first two shawls I made had 2 ‘long transition’ multi colored yarns (knit picks Chroma Fingering). I made the initial 6 color shawl to help show where colors were being used for the ease of reading the pattern. For color and yarn ideas, use the Ravelry system for yarns used for this pattern, it is GREAT!
