Wonderwall

Listing is for the pattern (knitting instructions) only.

Wonderwall has a free Row Map included, which makes knitting more accessible for chemo therapy patients and others who struggle with their concentration. Find out more about Row Maps here.

Stitch by stitch, brick by brick, this shawl can be your Wonderwall.

It’s an elongated semi-circular wrap with a cozy garter stitch body and simple colorwork stripes that add a pop of fun. The top-down construction is simple to follow.

Choose the coziest yarn you can, like John Arbon’s Harvest Hues Worsted, a lovely, rustic wool that comes in mini-skeins of gorgeous colors. Pick your favorites and paint your very own rainbow brick Wonderwall!
