It’s Free Pattern Friday!

Today, we share the Expressionist Shawl knitted in Wacki Saki (pattern link here).

Is there anything better than a good sock yarn accessory? Today’s two-ball shawl features subtle shaping that lets it sit gracefully on the shoulders. It also has beautiful lace, made even more striking through unexpected color changes that ebb and flow.

We call these color changes unexpected, because it’s such a departure from how the color runs look in the smaller circumferences that we see in socks! In little projects, Wacki Saki is bold and wild.

But when seen in larger circumferences, the shades shift smoothly across the broader canvas, creating long bands of color that accent your work.

We love this shawl so much that we made it in two colors. Shown above is Wacki Saki 406 Kooky Meadow…

…and here it has more of a desert sunset feel, with Wacki Saki 405 Crazy Tiger.

I hvae a friend who can’t get enough of pink, and for her I’m going to suggest color 401 Bonkers Bouquet. Its vivid tones match her bright personality!

No matter your choice, we think you’ll love this brilliant, flowing accessory.

Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Happy crafting!
