Knit PDF - Over The Top Shawl

I learned to knit in the round decades ago and I absolutely adore it. The round and round we go rhythm gets me into the zen of Fair Isle knitting. And besides, I'm not a fan of purling.

The Over the Top Shawl is worked in the round with a steek. The shawl begins with a fun bobbled border, stripes, and mini Fair Isle design. Then the zen begins with a graphic diamond design worked over several inches. The shawl is finished with the same stripe it began with and bound off with a bobbled edge. Lastly the steek is cut and the steek stitches are unraveled. Groups of steek yarn ends are tied in an overhand knot to create a sturdy edge.

This design was originally published in my book Color By Kristin by Sixth and Spring in 2009.

Design your own version by purchasing my supplemental Color By Kristin eBook available here on my website which includes 240 different Fair Isle charts, 24 different edgings and lots of instructions for beginning colorwork knitters.
