The Whatu Shawl by Francoise Danoy is a lovely little triangle and a great project to throw over your shoulders as the weather starts to warm.
The design is inspired by weaving techniques used in the M?ori tradition. Danoy says when she was learning weaving techniques to make garments, she was struck by how similar the stitching looked to knit stitches and decided to try to replicate it in knitting.
This is also a one-skein project (calling for 437 yards of sock/fingering yarn), so it’s a great use of one of those special skeins you have in your stash that you don’t know what to do with.
The pattern is one of two inspired shawl patterns you can grab for free at Aroha Knits.
