Westknits

This is a PDF knitting pattern.

Pick a scrumptious wooly worsted weight yarn and cast on for this adventurous textured shawl. Yarn over shaping forms the arched semi-circular shape and also decorates the fabric with easy breezy holes. There are three fun welts to work along with garter stitch short rows, knit purl texture and a picot bind off. The final shape is luxuriously long, ideal for dramatically tossing one end over the shoulder or wrapping round and round scarf-style.

You can also wear the shawl as a vest by wrapping both ends around your back.
