Everything Shawl
The one shawl that has everything: Lace, garter stitch, short rows, brioche - you name it, this shawl probably has it! It’s generously sized but uses only three skeins of yarn, two fingering weight skeins and one lace-weight Silk-Mohair.

Everything shawl was begun as my travel knitting and it has followed me to Buenos Aires, Patagonia, New York and Austin, Texas. This shawl has truly seen it all!
In addition to being my trusted travel companion, it also has everything a knitter can hope for: Garter stitch, some short rows, twisted ribbing, lace and even a bit of two-colored brioche. Pick up your favorite color combo and let’s start the journey of Everything Shawl together!
