The shawl is an asymmetric triangle with some garter, slipped stitches (mosaic) simple lace, and easy short rows. The pattern is one of 5+1 patterns from the [Friendship e-book][7]. **For information about sizes, measurements and yarn requirements please check the second page of the pattern located among the photos on the left.** **Type of Instructions** Both written and charted (whenever feasible). **It was a mystery** The pattern was first released as a Mystery Knit-A-Long at the Anima Knitting Club on Ravelry: [www.ravelry.com/groups/anima-knitting-club][8] **Get a kit** Kits are available at [SpaceCadetyarn.com][9] **The Name of the Shawl** The shawl is a tribute to the [Internal Family Systems (IFS)][10] model, that says we all have a kind of family of different parts inside of us and underlying them is our core or true Self, which can heal the wounded parts. I experienced how effective IFS can be in creating self acceptance, bringing more self-love and wellbeing, I love that theory and practice soo much. So if you'd like to have a chat about it during the MKAL, that will be the best time and place in the knitting world to discuss IFS. And if you are not interested in that, no need to get involved with IFS, just enjoy the MKAL. ______________________________ I asked test knitters what they would like to tell about the pattern and the finished shawl to other knitters without revealing the secret and here are the answers by some of them: [Dartfrog911][11] The pattern is well written with full explanations. The stitches flow from one section to another in an interesting way. Each clue builds upon the next in a cohesive way. Very enjoyable! [DerRoteFaden][12] Knitting of the pattern is great fun and rich in variety. Every clue is a nice surprise. The finished shawl simply looks gorgeous. It was a pleasure to be part in this mystery test knit. [kaisajk][13] Different textures in every clue make knitting this scarf engaging and the way the CC colours play their role will keep you wanting to knit just one more row! [nicandra71][14] It is surprising and you won’t be bored! ________________________________________ Painting in the placeholder by [Rukmini Poddar][15]. Modeled photos by István Dorka.
