About this Pattern

Even the greyest day becomes a celebration when you wear your Paper Lanterns shawl! The asymmetric triangle features stripes of tiny lanterns dancing across it. Choose a bright and bold or soft and subtle colour palette to suit your style. 

The shawl is worked by alternating colours every 4 rows, so you are only dealing with one colour at a time. The easy-to-work, easy-to-memorize dip stitch is fun to work and you don’t have to worry about weaving in the ends for each stripe; they each get their own bit of fringe along the edge!

Video tutorials are provided for working the 4 rows of the Dip Stitch pattern and for making the tassels at the end (handy hint: keep the kit bag tag handy for these as it's the perfect size for making the tassels!)
