May Featured Pattern and Knit-Along: Colours of Spring Shawl

We're (finally) into the gloriously sunny days of May!   Though there's still a small risk of frost at night here in Southern Ontario; the gardens are starting to bloom; and the trees are budding leaves!  

Spring has come in all its colour; which makes the Colours of  Spring Shawl pattern perfect for the May Knit-Along and Pattern Sale.  The pattern is available at 50% off (currently $3.00 CAD, regular price, $6.00 CAD)! Use the code MayFeatPatt2022 after clicking the button below!

The idea of a striped shawl using gradient sets had been something I’d been considering for a bit. It was some experimentation with gradient swatches that led to the creation of this shawl - and the wonderful colour gradient set from OceanWindKnits still makes me think of spring whenever I see this shawl!  It's a lightweight shawl, perfect for the spring evenings, and with a wide enough wingspan to make it a wonderful knit hug.  Plus, it's customizable to the amount of yarn you have, with options for two different edgings - the I-cord bind off (shown), or, a ruffled edge. 

This pattern has written instructions, and the stitch pattern is both written and charted. This pattern also has an accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading software. This option includes only the written instruction.

You can buy the pattern through Etsy, or in my Web Shop, the discount is available on both platforms. The discount should be be visible on Etsy, To get the discount on my web shop, you can use the coupon code MayFeatPatt2022.
