Universal Truth

To celebrate its release, Universal Truth will be 25% off through October 6, no coupon code needed.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a knitter in possession of a skein of yarn must be in want of a pattern! (With apologies to Jane Austen)

Sometimes you find that perfect skein of yarn and need to cast something on, but can’t find the right pattern. This shawl, with its relatively simple undulating pattern, will play nicely with many of those skeins, particularly the semi-solid and tonally variegated varieties. The leafy pattern will make you feel right at home while walking along a country lane, or possibly meeting an exciting new neighbor.

Universal Truth is a symmetrical, top-down triangular shawl, with a garter tab cast-on and slipped stitch edges to keep things tidy.
