Loft (knitted 4 ply)

Loft is a slightly asymmetric shawl that is knitted from the narrowest point, getting wider as you go. It’s an easy pattern that uses a series of colour changes to create definition and interest. This is a great on the go project as it’s easy to memorise and won’t boggle you. Inspired by a weekend away with lots of friends at Edinburgh Yarn Festival, the stripes represent the many flights of stairs to our city centre accommodation - The Loft.

The pattern structure is simple but effective with easy to memorise increases, decreases and colour changes. It is worked sideways, starting at the smallest point, so your rows get longer as you work through the pattern.

This pattern works well with most 4ply yarns (400,/100g). The yarn used within the pattern is John Arbon Textiles Knit By Numbers 4ply (Merino) in shades KBN116 (A), KBN118 (B) and KBN120 (C).
