Boxing Day Bonus

Boxing Day Bonus is a stunning shawl pattern meticulously designed to help you use up 20 mini skeins, making it the perfect project for that advent calendar yarn you've been eager to dive into! This beautiful, wearable shawl seamlessly integrates into any wardrobe, whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or looking to add a cozy layer to your everyday outfit.

The shawl is creatively worked sideways, starting from the right tip. To enhance your knitting experience, we've included a video tutorial demonstrating a unique variation on the garter-tab cast-on. This technique features a beautifully polished mock i-cord edging that elegantly borders the entire shawl, adding a sophisticated touch. One of the highlights of this design is that it eliminates tedious finishing work because the edging is incorporated as you knit. Additionally, since the shawl is executed sideways, you’ll appreciate that the rows never become overwhelmingly long, allowing for a more enjoyable knitting process.

This comprehensive pattern has been thoroughly tech edited and test knit to ensure clarity and accuracy. The instructions are written in detail rather than charted, making them easy to follow for knitters of all skill levels. If you enjoy keeping track of your progress, check boxes are included for every row, allowing for a streamlined and organized knitting experience.

The pattern also features a detailed schematic that outlines the color placement, so you can color it in and plan which mini skeins you want to use for each section. This thoughtful addition makes the Boxing Day Bonus shawl not just a pattern but a canvas for your creativity. Transform your mini skeins into a vibrant masterpiece that showcases your personal style while enhancing your knitting skills!
