Witching Hour Shawl
This shawl is asymmetric and starts at the narrow end, increasing every other row until the very end. It was designed to use Sewrella Yarn’s Halloween countdown box of 13 sock mini skeins in Stellina, but can be easily modified to use one color or a set of 10 mini skeins (it will be a bit smaller if you’re only using 10 minis). You could also just generally use 1,040yd (260g) of sock yarn scraps! This would definitely make for a great scrappy shawl project. Fair warning in any case – there will be a LOT of ends to weave in. (I know, that’s my least favorite part of any pattern too.)
I am also selling shawls made in this pattern. You may sell shawls made in this pattern but please tag K &S Knits if you do so.
