About the pattern

Welcome to the first ever Glow Along!

Experience the delicate frothy texture of mohair with this magical marled shawl! Eight colours of lace weight mohair silk melt throughout the fabric as you hold two colours together. You will change one colour at a time to create the fading marl effect. The top-down shawl begins with garter stitch followed by bubbles that increase from small to large sized shapes. The bubble technique is super fun and easy to knit, working with just one colour at a time. The instructions include video tutorials linked in the pattern that demonstrate how to cast on, how to knit the bubbles, and a bind off tutorial too! I used eight shades of our West Wool Glowhair yarn, resulting in a fluffy cloud of soft stitches around the neck.
