This shawl is the easiest, stress-free colourwork project you’ll ever knit. No matter what colour combination you choose, the colour-melt effect will pull all your colours together, creating a cohesive colour scheme that will ultimately make a wonderful statement piece. Included in the pattern is instructions for a three-coloured version as well as a six coloured-version and two border options.
Pattern Notes
The Colour Melt Shawl is a simple top-down, triangular shawl that allows you to play with colour. The shawl can be knit with either three or six colours that are ‘melted’ into each other by simply knitting with two strands of each colour. It’s fun and simple to knit, making a great statement piece to wear when you are finished.
This shawl also comes with a few different options for the border. You can choose to knit a lace border with or without a picot edge. You can also choose a more modern look that is a simple garter stitch border.
