Two Roads Diverged

I am always drawn to highly variegated yarns yet never know what to knit with them because the colors always seem to compete with the pattern. Two Roads Diverged (named after one of my favorite Robert Frost poems) has increases that change in their location and frequency as you get further along in the shawl, resulting in a very wearable "rounded trapezoid" shape.

This pattern contains directions for both variations of the shawl: garter stitch and stockinette stitch. The garter version uses directional increases (m1L and m1R), while the stockinette version uses yarnover increases for a more delicate look. Both versions can be completed using one skein of sock yarn, and it’s easy to adjust the pattern to your yarn supply, as it can be ended at any point or enlarged by continuing the established pattern of increases.

To knit this shawl, you need to know how to do a provisional cast on and work a garter tab, do directional increases or yarnovers, and do a cable cast on.
