The pattern is for a rectangular shawl with several different stitch patterns and a fun twist to the construction at the end. It’s worked up in fingering-weight yarn with one main color and six mini skeins, though it’s possible to do it with fewer contrasting colors.

Her Mountain Meadow colorway captures the beauty of the colorful wildflowers that flood the park each summer. It is available to preorder on two of Wendee’s custom-milled bases: Blueprint Sock, …
