The Meditations Shawl is a flexible pattern that can be knit in any yarn weight from Fingering to Bulky, in a range of sizes from Neckerchief (pictured, 20” length from center-back to tip of triangle) to mid-size (30” length) and full-size (40” length).
Essentially, this shawl can be made from almost anything in your stash, size dependent on your yardage allowances! It is knit top-down, from the center back outwards to the tip of the triangle. It is knit with a garter base and a meditative texture created with slipped stitches. Slow down your day and feel the meditative nature of this stitch pattern.
