| Job type | Test knit |
| Description | This shawl pattern is worked as a biased rectangle, with increases along one edge and decreases along the opposite edge. The colorwork is mosaic, created using slipped stitches while working just one color per row. I used a single solid MC and 6 fading colorways as the CCs. I would like testers to use one MC and any number of contrasting colors; as few as one, or as many as your stash allows. |
