Aerglo Wrap

This shawl can be made in two sizes, both of which are knit using three full skeins and three mini skeins. Each is knit with a background created by the two darker neutral skeins, so the UV-reactive yarn colors pop all the more -- like a pink sunset against a dark creeping ceiling of stars. The construction is very straightforward and much like a triangle shawl, but the result offers extra fabric at the top of the shawl, making it drape nicely for extra neck warmth. The spine of the shawl is a mock cable, in keeping with the shawl’s overall appreciation of the slipped stitch.

This pattern is part of the book Ultraviolet Knits: Twelve knitting patterns featuring UV-reactive hand-dyed wool yarn. This pattern works well for any bright vibrant yarn and mini skeins with neutrals (in place of the navy skeins).
