Shift Shawl

Introducing a beautifully crafted shawl pattern that features a captivating transition through a series of five distinct color changes and textures. This design takes advantage of various angles and lighting conditions to create stunning color illusions that enhance the visual appeal of the shawl.

Key features of this shawl pattern include:

• A fully written-out pattern that is easy to follow.
• The pattern has been rigorously tested and tech edited for accuracy.
• Instructions for a simple, braid-like slip stitch technique for the two-color edge, perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike.

Yardage & Yarn Notes:

This exquisite shawl utilizes five carefully chosen colors, designated as A through E. The specific colors I have selected for this project are showcased below.

If you decide to change the yarn, please be aware that a minimum of 160 yards is required for colors A, D, and E. Slightly less yardage will be needed for colors B and C. These yardage calculations are designed for use with Sport weight yarn, ensuring you achieve the correct gauge and create a lovely shawl measuring approximately 22.5 inches (57 cm) down the back.

In the Cascade 220 Sport range, I used the following colors:
A - Azure
B - Beige
C - Straw
D - Blaze
E - Silver Grey

It's important to note that color E requires every bit of one skein of Cascade 220 Sport yarn, so plan accordingly when gathering your materials.

This shawl pattern is perfect for knitters looking to experiment with color and texture while creating a stunning accessory. Whether you're making it as a gift or for yourself, this shawl is sure to become a treasured piece in your wardrobe collection.
