Product Description
A fun and repetitive knit, the Where the Buffalo Roam Shawl pattern is a large, cozy DK weight shawl perfect for fall and winter. The pattern includes three alternate design options for variety in size and color combinations.
The pattern was inspired by the plains of Montana -- where the buffalo roam. It features a wheat cable motif representing the wheat fields often found in the plains and garter sections representing the endless plains that seemingly stretch on forever. The end result? A cable lover's dream!
This pattern creates a triangle shawl that is worked top down. This pattern includes both written and charted instructions, but the instructions are separated within the pattern PDF, so you can just print what you need. The pattern includes instructions for three alternative design ideas, plus a blank diagram to create your own alternate design. Size & yarn quantities vary for the alternate design options.

The downloadable PDF pattern includes comprehensive written instructions spanning multiple pages, along with charted instructions for visual reference. The pattern also provides customization instructions, allowing knitters to modify the design to suit their preferences and create a personalized version of the shawl.
