Prismatic Honeycomb Shawl pattern PDF

Modular hexagons interlock to form this intriguingly shaped shawl. Each section is added to the existing piece seamlessly for minimal finishing, and this is the perfect project to build your skills at picking up stitches and working in the round. For the hexagons, use a set of mini skeins for maximum color, or try a gradient yarn for an interesting variation. Larger size is shown above and smaller size is shown on final page.

This is an advanced beginner project - you should be comfortable casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off. Additional skills in the pattern include picking up stitches, decreases, and increases. This is a modular design with no seaming, and surprisingly easy to complete!
