The Roddy shawl
Color changes galore and varying stitch patterns throughout. This project does not get boring.
One side of the shawl grows in steps and color blocks, the other gets knitted with an abundance of inspiring colorful stripes. The bottom border has a lace accent, there are also eyelet polka dots and a striking two color hexagon pattern tops it all.
The pattern is fully written and charted as well for your knitting pleasure.
The blocked size is: 60” in length and 14.5” in height.
