Into the Vortex MKAL

Now updated to include an option to use DK yarn!

Wrap yourself in a vortex shaped garter stitch shawl in two colours.

Slip stitch patterns, stripes and eyelet lace techniques make this a fun and engaging pattern to knit. The pattern is written, not charted.

There are two sizes to choose from and two yarn weights for the smaller size and options within the pattern to help manage your yarn usage.
