Pattern Colorways 3 - Hooded Shawl

A knitting pattern for an impressive multidirectional triangular hooded shawl, designed by Birgit Freyer.

With this pattern, you can knit an impressive triangular shawl with integrated hood in a size of your choice. This pattern has been designed to showcase the beautiful yarn Filace Moira with the wonderful colour changes, but Moira can be easily substituted with a variegated yarn of similar weight.
