Do you love mini-skein sets? I find them very tempting, but sometimes it’s hard to find patterns that will make the most of the gorgeous colours and gradients.

To remedy this, I have designed my Zastruga shawl: a well-thought-through knitting design which makes the most of special 4ply mini-skein sets and gradient yarn.

The pattern is customisable, with detailed instructions of how to create your own ‘off-piste’ version with whatever size of minis you have.

Zastruga is a sweeping triangular shawl, knitted from one corner down to an Old Shale edging, in five distinct sections. Each section features a different texture to depict a developing snow storm. The sections can be repeated or extended, and there is a handy table included in the pattern to help you plan your ‘off-piste’ Zastruga shawl.

The pattern includes full written instructions, links to helpful video tutorials to explain cable short-cuts, photographs, a schematic and has been fully tech-edited and test knitted.
