Stephen West's 14th Mystery Shawl Knit Along (MKAL) is a geometric explosion of color using a gradient of four colors. Join Stephen as he guides you through the mesmerizing stitches of this shawl with video tutorials. The Geogradient Shawl is a large shawl, similar in size to the Starflake or Winter Lights Shawl. It is not quite as massive as some previous MKAL shawls that used 5 colors like Texture time or Slipstravaganza. There is also a crochet option in Section 1 of the pattern. There is an option to customize the size of your shawl if you have extra yarn to make it larger or if you want to stop a bit early for a smaller shawl.
