Joseph Shawl

Introducing the Joseph Shawl, a stunning knitting pattern inspired by one of my favorite Bible stories. This beautiful shawl is crafted using a magic ball of all my sock yarn scraps from the past few years, resulting in a vibrant display of colors that pay homage to the iconic coat of many colors. The golden edging, delicately knit, symbolizes the prosperity that Joseph achieved, which ultimately allowed him to save his family from starvation.

For those who prefer a more subtle color palette, I collaborated with a talented friend who specializes in dyeing yarn. She created an extra-large version of the Joseph Shawl in two of her fabulous tonal colorways, making it truly breathtaking and perfect for any occasion.

The Joseph Shawl is knit entirely in garter stitch, ensuring a cozy and textured finish. Instead of enduring a tedious bind-off process with countless stitches, you'll learn a delightful technique of casting on stitches to create a patterned knit bind-off—this is when the real fun begins! The pattern is easy to memorize, making it an ideal project for knitters of all levels. Simply cast on, and let your creativity flow as you enjoy this captivating and versatile shawl.

Whether you're looking to use up sock yarn scraps or explore stunning tonal dyes, the Joseph Shawl offers a wonderful opportunity to express your creativity while crafting a beautiful accessory. Dive into this engaging pattern, and create a piece that not only showcases your knitting skills but also tells a story of creativity, color, and inspiration.
