A Multi-Colour Triangular Shawl // Design by Matt Akers
Who knew that combining multiple colours, yarns, and stitches together could result in such a relaxing knit. Originally designed as part of our 2021 SweetGeorgia Advent set, this shawl is a fabulous project for stash-busting. Assemble your own palette of fingering-weight yarns and enjoy a colourful knit while playing with hand-dyed colour!
