Wrapped in Greybow
Wrapped in Greybow
A celebration of color…
Inspired by paint splatters on a drop cloth and the organic beauty in the ordinary.
Wrapped in Greybow is a “kite construction” shawl that begins with a handful of stitches. Strategically placed increases and decreases create this unique shape: growing in Parts I-II, shaping in part III, and tapering in Part IV.
Wrapped in Greybow highlights the bright bursts of colors scattered randomly throughout Corrie Confetti, complimented with contrast color stripes. This shawl is a warm & snuggly quick knit using light worsted weight.
This is an advanced beginner / intermediate level pattern.
Size
Approximately 80” / 200 cm wingspan as oriented for wear, post (steam) blocking.
Note! A full wet blocking, especially if you are working in SW yarn, will result in a larger finished size as the Garter Stitch sections will relax and be less squishy.
