Skill level
Intermediate
Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns. Knitters at this level are expected to be comfortable reading patterns, working with a variety of needle types, and executing more advanced techniques such as cables, lace work, detailed construction methods or intarsia. These patterns require reading complex charts or instructions, offering knitters the chance to refine their skills and explore creative, sophisticated designs.
Description
This stunning shawl by Stephen West is a work of art, filled with exciting techniques, and accompanied by detailed video tutorials demonstrating every section of the shawl. Twists & Turns can be worn in multiple ways, whether it's open, draped around the shoulders, or wrapped up for warmth. Each style transforms the overlapping patterns and colors, giving the shawl many distinct appearances. This kit includes the perfect amount of our soft, eco-friendly Amble to knit this super trendy shawl.
Amble is a fingering-weight yarn made from a blend of eco-friendly washable wool and alpaca for comfort, as well as recycled nylon for added strength. This contemporary project is ideal for knitters who want to create and wear something colorful, fun, and stylish using luxury yarn.
This design was part of the Westknits Mystery Knit Along (MKAL), which included a four-part video series that released clues about the design (see the Techniques Used section below).
