Incremental Growth

Introducing the companion shawl to Diminishing Returns, the Incremental Growth shawlette! This beautifully crafted pattern utilizes the simple yet effective textures of stockinette and garter stitch to showcase the incredible hues of a single skein of hand-dyed fingering weight yarn. Perfect for both beginner and advanced knitters, this pattern provides an enjoyable knitting experience while creating a stunning accessory.

Incremental Growth is designed to be worked from the top down, beginning with a garter tab cast on that sets the foundation for the shawl's elegant shape. The project culminates with a sophisticated picot bind-off, adding a delicate touch to your finished piece. To facilitate your knitting journey, we’ve included a separate step-by-step photo tutorial for the garter tab, ensuring clarity and ease as you progress through the pattern.

This pattern has been meticulously test-knit and tech edited, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable crafting experience.
