Emanate

Discover a unique approach to the traditional top-down, center-out shawl with our innovative knitting pattern! This design deviates from the standard top-down shawl that typically starts with only a few stitches and increases rapidly. Instead, begin your creation with a long provisional cast-on that forms the elegant center spine of the shawl, followed by more gradual increases that allow for a beautifully balanced design.

Each vibrant u-shaped color stripe uses clever short-rows to build up more fabric along the sides compared to the bottom, ensuring that your shawl expands in width much faster than it grows in height. By the time you reach the final stripe, you'll appreciate the delightful interplay of colors and textures. To finish, the i-cord bind-off wraps around the entire shawl, providing a polished and professional look to your handiwork.
