The Bendy Arrow Shawl is a stunning asymmetrical garter stitch shawl that features the dynamic use of two colors of fingering weight yarn. This unique pattern is knit on the bias and intricately shaped using German short rows, providing both texture and visual interest.

What sets the Bendy Arrow Shawl apart from other asymmetrical designs is its clever construction: it starts off small and gracefully narrows, ensuring you won’t get lost in the endless expanse of fabric often referred to as the 'shawl black hole.'

For this project, you will need 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn. I used La Bien Aimée Merino Singles in the colorway Interstellar (a beautiful speckled white, 350y / 325m) and Nebula (a deep navy, 350y / 325m). The high contrast between your two chosen colors will result in a strikingly graphic design, while a solid color will allow the pattern to subtly emerge.

If you’re feeling adventurous, consider getting bolder results by incorporating three or more colors into your shawl design! The possibilities are endless for showcasing your personal style and creativity through color combinations.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking for an engaging project, the Bendy Arrow Shawl offers an enjoyable knitting experience and a stunning finished piece. Don’t wait—start knitting your Bendy Arrow Shawl today and make sure to share your creations with our vibrant community!
