Prairie Sky

“The Prairie Sky / is wide and high / Deep in the Heart of Texas” (Don’t forget to clap your hands as you sing along!) This beautiful knitting pattern is inspired by the random high clouds drifting overhead on a warm summer day in the stunning Blackland Prairie region of North Texas.

This charming and versatile shawl pattern is primarily worked in garter stitch, offering a relaxing and enjoyable knitting experience. It is designed to be worked from the center out, starting with a provisional cast on for a seamless finish. Perfect for advanced beginners, this project introduces knitters to techniques such as double yarn overs (yo) and provisional cast-ons, making it an excellent opportunity to enhance your knitting skills.

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner - This pattern requires knowledge of double yo and provisional cast-on techniques.
