Scout is an intricate, pattern-filled shawl inspired by the pieced-together aesthetic of vintage quilts. A dream project for colourwork lovers, Scout’s patchwork effect is achieved by mixing Fair Isle and intarsia knitting throughout. Knitted sideways from tip-to-tip, the easy-to-wear shape and size of the shawl is designed to display maximum detail as it drapes over the shoulders.

Color A: Weathered Wood
Color B: Plum Blossom
Color C: Labyrinth
Color D: Red Pear Marble
Color E: Bay Sailor Marble

Flock is made of U.S. wool. Its lofty texture lends itself beautifully to colorwork and intarsia, two techniques used in this piece. Flock is actually perfect for this piece, especially if you are new to these techniques, as it will hide any kind of shifts in your tension as you knit.
Shawn did such a fabulous job. A true piece of art! The sample is at Verb in case you are in town, on Saturday come by and see it in person.
