Hey all!

It’s crazy that February is already getting close to ending! With the end of February comes my husband and my big move! It’s not really all that big since we’re just moving about 10 minutes down the road, but I feel like all moves are big. Honestly, I’m terrible at moving. I just sit on the floor and complain while I’m supposed to be packing a box. At the same time, Vin will plow through 3 boxes in the time it takes me to fill one. It’s ok, we both have our assigned jobs when we’re moving. Mine is to whine and provide comedic relief while Vin does 90% of the packing. We’re a well oiled machine at this point since we’ve already moved 8 times in 8 years. (One of the reasons I’m so done with moving).

Anyway, because I’m bound to be extra stressed the next 3 - 4 weeks, this will be the last pattern I’ll be releasing until towards the end of March! Hope you guys love it!

ABOUT THIS Shawl:

This is Kat's Runic Shawl. It was designed in honor of my friend Kat, who has always been incredibly supportive. She's Greek and she told me the lace bit reminded her of Greek Runes, and that's how the name for this gorgeous shawl was born!

This shawl is knit on the bias, creating an asymmetrical triangle shawl. The design consists of a checkerboard texture section made with a combination of the hurdle and double seed stitches, a lace section, and garter stitch.

The shawl alternates between 3 colors to create a flowing garment. The Color Chart for this pattern is at the bottom of this post if you’re more inclined to visuals.

I used Lion Brand Cobblestone yarn to create my sample shawl. This yarn is a medium weight 4 aran/worsted weight yarn. This yarn is now discontinued, but if you can get your hands on it, it is worth using because it creates a gorgeous heathered effect. However, this shawl looks gorgeous in any weight 4 yarn.

THANK YOU! to all my wonderful testers!

Julie, Jillian, Kat and Becky

Set Up Rows:
