Have you seen the new Colorwheel Yarn at Michaels yet? Very soon it will be available online as well!
I want to share another fun project this yarn is perfect for,
The Colorwheel Knit or Crochet Shawl!
This is a perfect project for summer travels. The 90 yard skeins are small to place in side pockets of a purse or backpack. Simply pull one out, yep even in public *wink*, and keep adding to your rainbow shawl. The easy repetition of the pattern allows a quick work up without staring at a pattern every row. And this clean and straightforward pattern repeat creates an stunning and fun shawl! So what are you waiting for? Grab some awesome Colorwheel Yarn and whip up this fun Rainbow Crochet or Knit Shawl today! And might I add, the drape on both versions is AMAZING with a SOFT texture worth wearing.

Love your patterns
I love tour patterns. Please add me
Love the colors. Will try this for sure!
Beautiful design Briana and the video was so fun to watch
If I’m reading this wrong…please let me know but it looks like all you’re doing is slip stitching…is this a misprint??
Is there a print friendly version. I don’t want to copy this by hand. There is no print feature. Thanks
This page was supposed to be the CROCHET pattern.
Sorry, found it.
Will give this a go for sure.
I love the pattern thank you for sharing it.
Love to win the yarn to make this! After your Colorwheel game, I’m dreaming of pools, beaches, oceans and laying on a secluded beach or next to a pool at a private resort….being waited on while I’m sipping Mint tea or Landslides and CROCHETING (this in all my favorite colors)!
Very nice pattern! 🙂
I think this is a mistake (in the crochet pattern)
“14 sts and 13 rows = 4″ (10 cm) in slip stitch”
…really?? mesurement in slip stitch and 13 rows…??
Maybe the stitch type is SC ??
This pattern uses a larger hook and the slip stitch to mimic the look of the knit garter stitch, so yep, you are reading it correctly as written 🙂
How many chains do you do to make this Afghan please let me know I do not see it in the pattern
This is a shawl pattern that starts from the short end and increases to the other end creating an asymmetrical shape 🙂
