Islands in the Stream Shawl - Teal Me About It (warm) Kit, 1 Full Skein & 6 Minis in Aussie Extra Fine Sock with Nylon + 1 Island Wave Progress Keeper

Gradient mini-skeins pair with a semi-solid to create this bold, eye-catching accessory. The ‘streams’ are garter ridges that become wavy with the surrounding short rows. There will be a tutorial video demonstrating this easy-to-work technique using German short rows. 

Please purchase the pattern here on RAVELRY or at PAPER DAISY CREATIONS
