Upwards (shawl & cowl)

Exciting news for knitting enthusiasts! Upwards is featuring a fun-to-work stitch pattern that beautifully showcases the vibrant shadings of hand-dyed variegated yarns. This versatile pattern comes in two versions: a stylish cowl and an elegant shawl. With our easy-to-download option, you’ll receive two separate PDF files, one for each delightful shape, allowing you to choose your favorite project.

Both the cowl and the shawl are designed to be effortlessly adjustable to suit the amount of yardage you have on hand. Simply select a variegated yarn in your desired weight, as this pattern works exceptionally well with any yarn, ranging from fingering to aran. The adaptability of the pattern means you can create a gorgeous finished piece regardless of your yarn stash!

Complete with written and charted instructions, as well as a detailed photo tutorial, this knitting pattern is ideal for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner looking to expand your repertoire or an experienced knitter seeking a new project, you'll find joy in creating these beautiful pieces.

I genuinely hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I did designing it! Don’t forget to check the yarn requirements: for the Malabrigo Rios, you’ll need 2 skeins for the shawl and just 1 skein for the cowl.
