Surf Shawl (Pattern PDF)

Please Note: This product is a PDF pattern, not a physical item.

Inspired by the ocean and its waves, the Surf Shawl uses simple knit stitches and slipped stitches to create a textured asymmetrical shawl. A gradient of three colours is used for this project, a smooth transition is formed between these by knitting stripes to fade from one colour to the next.
