This is a PDF knitting pattern.
This pattern is included for free with my workshop called Colorplay the Westknits Way: Marling. This online workshop is available to purchase on my website Westknits and you can watch it at any time at your own pace.
Gather a colorful collection of leftover fingering weight yarn and single skeins to create a painterly yarn pile. This top-down shawl is very easy to knit with garter stitch and I-cord edges. The top-down construction means you can bind off early for a smaller size or continue knitting for a large shlanket. Invite some fluffy mohair yarns into your color palette for texturally melted color transitions.
Always hold two strands together for this stash busting beginner friendly shawl. The pattern includes advice on how to blend your colors together to achieve smooth melting color transitions.
