Voyager

Introducing the ***Voyager Shawl***, a beautiful and intricate pattern originally designed as a mystery knit-a-long to celebrate Season 3 of the wildly popular series ***Outlander***, which aired in 2017. Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland and the stunning hues of Scottish Heather, this shawl captures the essence of the region's natural beauty through its thoughtfully chosen colors and design.

The yarn company ***Lorna’s Laces*** has unfortunately closed, meaning their celebrated Shepherd Sock yarn is no longer available. However, this presents a fantastic opportunity to experiment with a skein of hand-dyed speckle yarn combined with five complementary solid colors from your stash. You’ll only need about 100 yards of each complementary color, making this the perfect project to use up those leftover yarns that you’ve been saving!

This delightful shawl features a combination of lace, garter stitch, and slipped stitches, providing a simple yet engaging knitting experience. The frequent color changes will keep your creativity flowing, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels!

Yarn Requirements:

**Main Color (MC):** Approximately 430 yards of fingering weight yarn.
**Contrast Colors (CC1-CC5):** Approximately 100 yards each of 5 different contrast colors. While the yarn shown in the pattern is discontinued (Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock), this design works wonderfully with any speckled or variegated main color paired with a coordinating mini skein set.

If you love knitting shawls that blend elegance with creativity, the Voyager Shawl is the perfect addition to your project list. So grab your needles, select your favorite yarns, and embark on this enchanting knitting journey today!
