Coloring Lines

Looking for the yarn? Click here to view the incredible kit options from Hazel Knits!

Looking to cast on a shawl that is simple to work, but with great graphic impact? Look no farther! Coloring Lines was created to use only 3 different stitch patterns and easy shaping. In fact, every right side row is worked the same way! Wrong side rows create the stitch patterns of garter, stockinette, or eyelets. It’s the perfect ‘first shawl’ design for beginners, while experienced knitters will appreciate the relaxing rhythms that allow for watching television or conversing with friends. The results are an eye-catching, effortless accessory that will let your colors shine!
