Twilight Disco is a delightfully whimsical shawl – a lovely layering piece with a lot of playful character. From the easy mindless knitting in the body of the shawl, to the colorful patterning in the border, what’s not to like?!
The shawl is started with a garter tab. The color work in the border is done using the slip-stitch mosaic technique, so you will be handling only one strand of yarn at all times. The border patterning is both charted and written out.

Difficulty level
This triangle-shaped shawl is knit from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast-on. The edging uses the slip-stitch mosaic color work technique. Stitches used include knit, purl, right- and left-leaning increases, k2tog tbl, as well as slipping stitches. This pattern is therefor suitable for the intermediate to advanced knitter.
