Knit The Rainbow Knitting Pattern Collection
Knit The Rainbow is a little book of five designs which use our colour wheel sets and an extra pattern to help use up any leftover yarn. Each design can also be worked in one or two semi solid colours, so it gives lots of options. The book is also available in print.

Correct gauge is not essential, as this pattern is started wih a few stitches and worked until you only have enough yarn left to cast off.
You could also work the shawl in a single colour. The garter stitch means this would work well in variegated yarns too.
The shawl is worked on a 3.5mm circular needle, but if you prefer straight pins they will work too.
