We are probably all drawn to that random skein of variegated and/or hand dyed yarn. Usually those One of a Kind (OOAK) skeins. We get our hands on the skein and can’t let it go, but what happens when we bring it home? We are left wondering what to do with it. The Cross Me Knot Shawl was designed for just such a skein of yarn. The crossed stitches give each color in your variegated yarn a chance to exhibit to the world it’s true glory. Let this triangular, top-down shawl be your go to for that precious skein of fingering weight yarn. You will need anywhere from 385 – 425 yards, and the pattern is highly adaptable.

The fully written pattern is and easy to follow meditative knit. Video tutorials are provided for the cross stitch, the garter tab, the increases (M1s) and the suggested bind off. Perfect pattern for the advanced beginner, but with enough interest for a seasoned knitter. As an added bonus, this is a really quick knit with garter stitch as the base stitch.

For worry free knitting, this pattern has also been tech edited and test knitted.
