• Product description

  Redshift is a project for the adventurous spirit — a graphic shawl knit circularly to a point in stranded colorwork, opened with a hand-sewn steek, and finished with a multi-directional garter edge. This shawl is the perfect opportunity to expand your skill set and add a jolt of energy to your wardrobe. Wear it loud and proud with a bright, high-contrast color combination or tone it down with a subtle pairing of neutrals or closely related hues from the Loft palette.

  Redshift is also available as part of Jared Flood’s first print book, WOOLENS.

  Designer: Jared Flood

  Collection: Woolens

  CONSTRUCTION

  • The shawl is worked circularly from a Provisional Cast On to one point, with a steek. The steek is then secured and cut open. Stitches are picked up along the straight edge of the triangle, and the stitches of the provisional cast on are released. The edging for these two sides is worked in one piece in garter stitch. The edging for the third side is picked up along the decreased edge of the triangle and along the side edges of the previous edging piece, and also worked in garter stitch.
