Nightshift Shawl

Nightshift is a pattern by Andrea Mowry. Andrea says: This super fun shawl has a very large canvas for color play! This pattern includes a recipe, to make it all your own, or row by row directions for those who want to play it safe!

The Nightshift Shawl is worked flat from side to side, increasing on one edge to achieve an asymmetrical triangle. A recipe is included for you to switch colours whenever you feel like it

The pattern is paired with DROPS Nepal. DROPS Nepal is a lovely, chunky and luxurious yarn spun in 35% superfine alpaca and 65% Peruvian Highland wool, a mix that accentuates the softness of alpaca while the wool contributes to the garments’ shape stability. Both fibers are untreated, which means that they are only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This highlights the fibers’ natural properties, providing also a better shape and texture qualities.

We recommend DROPS Nepal, the perfect every day yarn. Purchase the pattern from Ravelry.com.
