Pick your preferred circular shawl shape and dive into your DK-weight stash. This shawl devours yarn and works up quick, and you can easily add more spokes to change the final size and shape at any time! Choose colors that represent each season to you or an assortment of your favorites, and get ready to wrap up in this generously-sized shawl.

This shawl is worked from the center out in wedges that are joined together at the selvedge edge. Because of this, the knitter can easily choose how many spokes to work to achieve their desired shape. The stitch patterns were chosen to play well with a variety of yarn colors – solids will of course look great, but variegated yarn can cause interesting flashing and pooling with the shape of the spokes in addition to looking good with the stitch patterns.

The written instructions for this pattern are arranged in such a way that you can easily keep track of your progress on each spoke.
