I have a new pattern available for download now from Under the Olive Tree Knits and Ravelry - this is the Within the Lines shawl. 

About this Pattern

Within the Lines is a triangular shawl worked from the top down in three colours of aran weight yarn. At first glance this may look like a normal striped shawl but Within the Lines uses slipped stitches make some of the stripes go a little wonky. So you’re still colouring within the lines; you just get to bend those lines ever-so-slightly!

The heavier yarn works up quickly and produces a rich texture and great warmth. Combine a neutral main colour with two high-contrast colours to create a real showstopper!

The pattern has been tech edited and test knit and includes written instructions and charts.

Skills / Techniques used: Knit, purl, yo’s, slipped stitches
