Duin

Introducing the Duin shawl – a stunning crescent-shaped shawl expertly designed to be worked from the top down. This unique pattern showcases intricate color work in the border, utilizing the mosaic slip stitch technique, which allows you to work with only one color at a time. This makes it an ideal choice for knitters looking to explore color work without the stress of dealing with tension issues!

The body of the Duin shawl features special shaping techniques that successfully eliminate the common "bump" often found in the upper edge of many crescent shawl designs. This innovative shaping not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also contributes to the shawl’s overall drape and fit. The instructions for the stunning mosaic color work are provided in both fully charted format and written out instructions, catering to various learning preferences.
