A vibrant shawl inspired by the bright colors and sunny light of the Greek islands, sitting in cafés and looking at the sea.

 

Knit on 4mm/US6 needles with approximately 228g/1000yds/912m of Hedgehog Fibres Sock Minis: Gossip, Iris, Beach Bunny, Cry Baby, Magpie, Highlighter, Boombox, Kid You Not, Hula Hoop, Raku, Pucker, Jelly, Piggy Bank, Kimono, Deep End, Wildcard, Sin, and Bubble.

 

The sample shown uses eighteen Sock Minis, however a shawl of the same size can be made with twelve, as I had plenty of leftovers. The shawl can also be made with a mixture of Sock Minis and leftovers from other projects.

 

Three yarn only kits are available directly from Hedgehog Fibres. There is a kit with the colorways used in the sample, another colorful one and a more subdued option.

 

Techniques include intarsia knitting with seven colors per row, simple lace stitches, splicing yarn ends, chart only!

 

The distribution of colorways is not detailed in the pattern - you can loosely follow the distribution using the flat photograph or, in keeping with the colorful spontaneity of the hand painted yarn, you can have fun playing with your own color ideas and combinations.

 

Dimensions: approximately 188cm/74in by 48cm/19in
