About the Aurora Cabin Shawl Pattern
This semi-circular shawl is knit seamlessly from the top centre downward, finishing with a dramatic chevron border and I-cord bind off. Stripes and slip-stitch motifs alternate throughout the design, but you’ll only ever work with one colour at a time—perfect for relaxing, rhythmic knitting that still delivers striking, multi-colour results.
Yarn requirements: 500g of fingering-weight yarn in five colours (included in the kit)
