Veer Left

Introducing the Veer Left shawl, a beautifully designed striped elongated half hexagon shape that showcases the elegance of drapey, stretchy garter stitch. Perfect for knitters on the go, this pattern features a short and easy-to-memorize sequence of rows that you can quickly repeat. As you knit, the shawl gradually increases in width until you’ve used a designated percentage of your yarn. At this point, the knitting takes a delightful turn, veering off to the left, and then decreases gracefully down to the far side.

The Veer Left shawl is an ideal project for long color run yarns, handspun options, variegated yarns, or striping yarns. For a stunning effect, consider striping a variegated yarn against a solid color, or opt for two complementary solid shades for bolder, eye-catching stripes. This versatility makes the Veer Left shawl a fantastic addition to any knitter's collection!
