Waveline

Waveline is a delightfully whimsical shawl. Its allover mosaic color work patterning makes it a lovely layering piece with a lot of playful character. What’s not to like?!

The shawl is started with a garter tab. The color work is done using the slip-stitch mosaic technique, so you will be handling only one strand of yarn at all times. The patterning is both charted and written out.

Difficulty level

This triangle-shaped shawl is knit from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast-on. The color work uses the slip-stitch mosaic technique. Stitches used include knit, purl, right- and left-leaning increases, k2tog tbl, as well as slipping stitches.

This pattern is therefore suitable for the intermediate to advanced knitter.

Sizes and finished measurements

One size (easily adjusted) – finished dimensions of the sample shawl: 188 cm (74 inches) along the upper edge and a depth of 68 cm (26 ¾ inches), measured after blocking.

Change the size of the Waveline shawl larger by using heavier or lighter weight yarn and/or working less (or more) repeats of the various sections. This will, of course, change the amount of yarn needed.
