FAQ’s
What is it?
We’ll be knitting a shawl in six steps. You’ll receive one “clue” each week containing the next part of the pattern.
What will the shawl pattern look like?
It’s a mystery! But here are a few hints:
Texture, movement, direction, drape.
Can I expect this year’s shawl to be similar to last year’s?
Not at all. Expect something completely different. We don’t want to bore you, after all!
Do I have to use Koigu?
No, you can use any fingering-weight yarn you like.
Can I use all KPM or more KPPPM?
Feel free to switch things up if you’re feeling adventurous. This pattern will play well with those variegated yarns, but keeping the MC as a solid that supports all the KPPPMs will be beneficial.
Can I use yarn from my stash?
Of course! This could be a good stashbuster pattern if you have little collections that could combine to replace each of the KPPPMs. Use a solid MC to pull them all together.
