Above the Fold

This beautiful shawl knitting pattern utilizes two matching gradient yarns to create the illusion of one larger gradient that appears to have been folded in the middle. The design is written to maximize the potential of any gradient yarn, accommodating various yardage options. Choose from two 50g or two 100g (or larger!) gradient cakes in the same stunning colorway to achieve the desired aesthetic. Additionally, you have the flexibility to adjust the amount of solid yarn for further customization in sizing, making it a versatile project for knitters of all skill levels.

The listed sizes in the pattern serve merely as examples. Feel free to craft your shawl in any size you prefer by simply adjusting the amounts of each yarn you utilize. With this adaptable pattern, you can create a gorgeous piece that fits your unique style and preference.
