Pauline's Colour Play

Introducing our charming crescent shawl knitting pattern, designed to be worked in three stunning colors that beautifully blend together. This cozy shawl is crafted using a delightful mix of garter stitch and an exquisite mosaic motif that seamlessly transitions from one color to the next. Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, this project is not only fun to knit but also results in a stylish and comfortable accessory to wear!

Mosaic knitting is an engaging and enjoyable colorwork technique that produces remarkable visual effects. With this technique, you’ll only work with one color at a time while slipping the other, allowing you to create captivating two-color motifs effortlessly. This method is perfect for knitters looking to explore color variations without the complexity of traditional Fair Isle knitting.

The pattern includes comprehensive, fully written out row-by-row instructions along with clear charts, making it easy for you to follow along regardless of your skill level. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner, you’ll find joy in creating this beautiful shawl!

The original sample was knit using Shalimar Yarns Paulie, but we've included an alternative yarn suggestion to suit your preferences and budget.
