Indie Design GAL 2017: Top 10 shawls

One of the key features of the Indie Design GAL* is the knit and crochet along, which is broken up into 8 categories (head, hands, feet, baby, garments, shawls, neck and other).

Over the course of this week, I'm going to share my favourite patterns in each of the categories. So far I've covered hat patterns, knits for hands, socks and knits for babies. Today I'm highlighting some of my favourite shawl designs.

I really struggled to choose between all the shawls, there were so many beautiful ones. Here are 10 of my favourites, though you will notice a common theme of stripes!

1. Red Katana by Svetlana Volkova
I like this one so much I have cast one on for the KAL portion of the GAL.

2. Mini Mazy by Rachel Henry
This shawl would be perfect for using up mini skeins.

Maybe it's finally time for me to have a go at brioche!

  1. Oh my gosh, I need to knit a shawl next! Most of those are in my favourites now! I love the one you're doing- but would it work with sock weight?

    1. I'm knitting it in sock weight as that's what I have. There's a point where it tells you what percentage of the yarn you should have used, so I'm hoping it works out!
