The Trickster

Introducing The Trickster, a uniquely designed shawl that features some sneaky little quirks, making it a breeze to knit while offering an eye-catching look that appears far more complex than it truly is. This crescent-shaped shawl is perfect for knitters looking for an engaging project that blends skill with creativity.

The Trickster showcases an intricately designed cable and slipped stitch scrollwork, artfully combined over a striped garter base. The clever and captivating lace pattern is inspired by Naomi Parkhurst's secret code stitches, adding an element of surprise to your knitting experience. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner, you’ll find delight in creating this visually stunning shawl.

This pattern is flexible, as it can be knitted using two contrasting skeins of fingering to sport weight yarn or a single gradient cake that you can work from both ends. The versatility in yarn choice allows you to unleash your creativity and personalize your project. While the minimum yardage requirement of 400 meters will yield a slightly smaller shawl than the beautiful sample shown, there are several repeatable sections that enable you to easily customize the size and make your shawl larger. Please note that yardages are based on fingering weight yarn; using sport weight yarn will affect both the yardage needed and final measurements.

For your convenience, The Trickster pattern provides the option to be worked entirely from a written format or from charts accompanied by helpful notes. This makes it suitable for knitters who prefer different ways of following patterns. Dive into this delightful project, and let The Trickster become a cherished addition to your knitting repertoire!
