DESCRIPTION
This versatile, generously sized, rectangle shawl pattern can be worn multiple ways and is large enough to be used as a personal travel blanket. The pattern is worked using a deceptively simple knitting technique known as entrelac to create, what looks like, interlaced rectangles.
When the pattern is paired with a gradual color-shifting yarn, the rectangles transition from one shade to the next. The yarn does all of the color work so you can just enjoy the knitting.

My Process
My patterns are designed, not just written down, because I want your project to be a success!
Before knitting begins, I sketch ideas, test yarns, stitch swatches, create charts, do math and consider a variety of skills and construction methods. Each pattern uses standard knitting terminology and notations, is edited for technical accuracy and has a logical, easy-to-read format.
I do the work so you can relax and enjoy the knitting.
