Polka dot repeats add playful texture to this triangular shawl, making it quite fun to knit. The centres of the circles are accentuated by Navajo knitting, which adds a touch of challenge — but this is approachable enough, and the photo tutorial will guide you through the technique step-by-step. Worked from the flat tip up to the longest edge, the shawl size can be adjusted by adding or omitting pattern repeats. Strands of the sumptuous pure wool ITO Shio are held together with the linen-cotton blend ITO Asa for a gorgeous marled effect. Or, substitute both yarns with a heavy lace weight or a light fingering weight yarn. (Plan for 1000 meters/1094 yards if so.) Watching Over You is a lovely addition to your own wardrobe, or the perfect gift knit to remind that special someone they’re loved. Buy the pattern here.
