Seventies (by Maxim Cyr)

$9.00

This pattern is available in English and in French as a digital download.

Seventies is a groovy shawl inspired by its namesake decade and that features a striking mosaic design. You can follow either the written instructions or the chart. Since it's a mosaic knitting project, you will work with only one strand of yarn per row. Watch your tension, as there are some longer floats on the back.

Kits are available here.
