**Piet on Point Shawl Pattern: A Knitting Journey Inspired by Piet Mondrian**
Immerse yourself in the artistry of knitting with the Piet on Point shawl, a stunning piece inspired by the iconic works of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. This unique shawl features a modular design comprised of three beautifully crafted panels, seamlessly joined together by a three-needle purl bind-off technique. The broad borders elegantly frame the interior panels, reminiscent of a picture frame surrounding a masterpiece. Designed with comfort in mind, the Piet on Point shawl is worked entirely in garter stitch, making it delightfully squishy and incredibly cozy—a perfect accessory for any season!
Crafted for versatility, this shawl offers a fantastic opportunity for knitters to express their creativity. Ample yardage information is provided, allowing you to easily reconfigure colors and placements, making each shawl a unique work of art that reflects your personal style.
