Collie

If you adore Gradient or Ombre yarn and are seeking a fresh alternative to traditional lace-edge shawls, then the Collie shawl pattern is perfect for you! Collie is a single-skein project that features a simple yet captivating design, making it ideal for relaxing TV knitting sessions. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create a stunning finished shawl that showcases the beauty of your chosen yarn.

To craft the Collie shawl, you'll need just one skein of ombré, graduated, gradient, or color shift yarn. Alternatively, you can use a mini skein set, as long as your total yardage comes to at least 400 yards. This pattern accommodates a variety of colorways, whether you opt for a smooth transition within a single color family or choose to shift through 2-3 complementary color families.

The Collie shawl pattern is designed as a formula rather than a row-by-row instruction list, allowing you to fully embrace the unique characteristics of your yarn and create a one-of-a-kind piece. While there are no specific stitch counts after the initial setup rows, I have provided detailed row counts based on my experience using Fresh From the Cauldron Fingering Weight Gradient Yarn in three different colorways. This guidance will help you understand how many stitches to increase on each row as you progress, ensuring your shawl turns out beautifully.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking to try something new, the Collie shawl is a fantastic project that highlights the stunning color transitions of your favorite yarn. Get ready to impress everyone with your knitting skills and enjoy the creative process as you bring this delightful shawl to life!
