This is a PDF knitting pattern. Choose eight colours of fingering weight yarn to knit this top-down shawl inspired by the landscapes of Iceland. The semi-circle shape begins with easy garter stitch stripes. Then, the colours mix and mingle in a syncopated brioche section. There is also a simple seed stitch non-brioche option to follow. The garter stitch stripes provide a relaxing and meditative quality, so you can enjoy your beautiful colours. All eight shades weave in and out of each other in a woven slip stitch motif. The final border features a mountainous short row section flowing into wavy eyelets. This colourful shawl is ideal for partial skeins or 50g skeins like West Wool Bicycle. Channel your favourite natural landscape into a collage of stripes and wrap yourself in colourful stitches.
