Cassiopeia Mini Skein Shawl

Transform your beautiful collection of mini skeins into a stunning masterpiece with this Cassiopeia Shawl pattern. This delightful shawl is crafted on the bias, utilizing easy-to-memorize stitches that make it an approachable and enjoyable wrap for knitters of all skill levels. The unique stitch pattern features W-shaped eyelets, emulating the celestial constellation after which the shawl is named. This thoughtful design not only highlights your favorite colors but also adds a touch of artistry to your knitting projects.

In this sample, each section is crafted using 20-gram mini skeins, resulting in approximately 4” (10cm) of rows per mini. While this sample showcases 16 mini skeins, you can easily achieve a beautiful finished piece with 12 20-gram minis as well. Feel free to adjust the number of mini skeins based on your desired length and style. For instance, knit Cassiopeia with eight skeins for a cozy Hanukkah wrap, 24 for a festive Advent season project, or even just seven skeins for a fun one-week shawl challenge. This versatile pattern also encourages you to explore creativity by using leftover scraps of yarn in various amounts for a vibrant and unique wrap. Alternatively, you can incorporate full skeins that have been patiently waiting for the perfect project. Your imagination is the limit when it comes to color combinations—whether you prefer a gradient fade, a bold rainbow, or a gentle monochromatic shift, the Cassiopeia Shawl will become a cherished addition to your knitting collection.
