- Use Your Stash Shawl
Wow, I can’t believe the response to this pattern! You all are amazing, thank you so much for your support in pushing this pattern to the top of the Hot Right Now on Ravelry!
I designed this shawl for one very specific reason: sometimes you want to knit those last bits of leftover yarn but you have no way to determine if you have enough to complete a pattern. Thanks to the genius of Lee Meredith (Leethal Knits) you can, and you never need to pick up stitches. This pattern incorporates the Sideways Edge Cast On that she created, with her permission. For more information on this cast on, please visit Lee’s blog at: https://www.leethal.net/zine/sideways-edge-cast-on-a-knit…
Shawls can be knit in either garter stitch (see red & white sample) or stockinette (see purple sample). Can be knit as a rectangular shawl, or use the optional short rows for a slight crescent shape.
