Knit yourself a wearable exploding star! The Supernova Shawl will take you on a cosmic knitting adventure with plenty of techniques to try along the way.
Designed to utilize twelve mini skeins paired with a full skein!
The pattern includes both written and charted instructions for the charted sections.
Supernova begins in the center, with the birth of your star and is worked in the round initially. Stitches are then held while each “wing” is worked flat, separately. Finally, stitches are picked up along the outside edge to complete the project with the edging.
