New Festive KAL pattern for 2025
Join us for the 2025 Ambah’s Festive KAL and knit yourself a gorgeous Wrap!
Pattern to be published late November, 2024 ahead of the KAL start date.
A shawl version of the popular Twist Cardigan, the Twist Shawl offers plenty of opportunity to incorporate your own creativity. This design is specifically created to complement a festive mini-skein set, offering a variety of ways to integrate the mini-skeins into your knit. You can knit stripes to showcase the individual colors, blend a gradient set for a continuous fade effect, or have fun with bold color blocking. The pattern includes instructions to create a stripe option utilising 12 x 20 g mini-skeins while the gradient version is designed for 24 x 10 g mini-skeins. The finished Twist Shawl is designed to sit comfortably over the shoulders and can be styled in multiple ways to suit the wearer.
