Runaway Star Shawl

In the ordered movements of celestial bodies, runaway stars are the renegades. They move to their own beats, make up their own rules, and run a little wild. So too does this shawl, where you’ll need all your knitterly tricks to follow the star’s path. Cables, colourwork, slip-stitch patterns, and lace all come together in an unusual shape reminiscent of a star’s wake across the sky. Wrap up and use the unique Starpoint as an optional built-in brooch to pin it in place.

The shawl is knit from the Starpoint tip with increases every 4th row along a central “spine” which make the shape an elongated mitred kite shape with a shallow point at the BO edge. The Starpoint is made with two-colour cables, the Starburst and Two-Colour Eye of Partridge are slipped stitch patterns, followed by a Staghorn Cable section which leads into the long lace column section.

The pattern includes full written instructions as well as charts. Resource section lists links to tutorials for specific techniques.
