Not Just Any Shawl

Named after the craziness of last year, the original shawl that I wore on television was knitted in sock yarn scraps. I love knitting socks and have many, many small balls of ‘leftovers’, so I knitted that particular piece in order to use up my leftovers stash. If you prefer to recreate that one, simply follow the pattern, but replace the yarn with your sock yarn scraps and use a 3.25mm needle instead. Introduce your colours on the ‘right’ side and vary the numbers of double rows you knit with them to avoid too obvious a ‘stripe’ effect. I particularly liked having a few lines of a glittery sock yarn in there, to give it a little bit of sparkle. This shawl is a little easier, in that the main yarn is a colour-changing yarn so it doesn’t take any fiddling about with different scraps / ends etc. Pattern includes reference photographs.
