Go Faster Stripes

Join the exciting challenge of yardage chicken with this beautifully designed shawl pattern, perfect for knitters of all levels! Many talented knitters, including myself and our dedicated testers, have tried to stretch their yarn just a bit further to fit in that final stripe – and as we all know, the best way to win against yarn scarcity is to knit faster!

This stunning shawl was originally crafted using one of Holst Garn's delightful sample packs of five mini skeins of Coast (3 ply/light fingering), with each skein weighing just 10 grams. Since then, it has been successfully knit with a variety of 4 ply yarns, which include either specially purchased mini skeins or your treasured yarn leftovers from previous projects.

Whether you decide to indulge in a little yarn shopping or explore the hidden gems in your stash, this shawl pattern is a versatile choice for any knitter. All you need are five approximately equal amounts of yarn in colors that inspire you. Plus, select a needle size that creates your favorite fabric – ideally one that drapes beautifully – to ensure your finished shawl is both stunning and comfortable.

Get ready to embrace your creativity and transform your yarn stash into an eye-catching accessory that you’ll cherish. Follow our easy-to-understand pattern, and let’s embark on this knitting adventure together!
