BONEYARD SHAWL - FREE PATTERN

This free knitting pattern uses Fingering or DK weight yarn and US 4 / 3.5mm circular (for fingering version) or  US 7 / 4.5mm (for DK version) in 40″ / 100cm. You will need either 2 skeins of Bicycle or 3 skeins of Tandem as well as a tapestry needle for working in ends. The pattern is very beginner friendly and includes links to videos to help you along the way.

Pattern Description: This simple triangular shawl begins at the top center and increases toward the border. You can knit this shawl with any yarn weight and continue the shape to make it as large as you wish. Three skeins of West Wool Tandem is enough to knit the DK weight version or two skeins of West Wool Bicycle will make a thinner fingering weight version. Boneyard Shawl was my first Westknits design published in 2009 named after the Boneyard Arts Festival in Urbana, Illinois. It was the shawl that started it all! Once you knit the Boneyard Shawl, you can experiment with stripes and textures as you venture into the woolly world of Westknits shawl knitting.
