Check 1-2

This shawl pattern was inspired by those young, carefree days, when anything was possible and the world was a stage waiting for you to take the spotlight.

Like the name suggests, the pattern creates a sequence of checks which are made by alternating sections of ‘yo, k2tog’ stitches and stockinette. The design will really show off a skein of variegated yarn, creating squares of colour that fly like mini flags across the shawl.

If you are new to knitting lace, this shawl would be the perfect opportunity to give it a try. Using just yarnover and k2tog stitches to create the lace, each section is worked between markers so you can easily keep count of your stitches. A video tutorial on how to work the [yo, k2tog] stitch combination is linked in the pattern

Want to go bigger and bolder? You can easily adapt this pattern to use 2 or even 3 skeins! Instructions on how to adapt the shawl are given in the instructions.
