Achievement Badge Shawl

*This top-down shawl is filled with playful techniques to learn new skills. Choose 4 contrasting colors and begin with garter stitch and eyelet stripes. Slip stitch polka dots and a slip stitch trellis detail frame the next sections. You will learn how to knit the slip stitch jacquard technique, cabled slip stitches, and dip stitches. The color pop textures lead to a Latvian braid, short row mounds, and a final textured wavy border. This shawl is action packed with lots of motivating skills to keep you engaged and entertained. The instructions include lots of video tutorials demonstrating the various techniques up close, so you can achieve this beautifully knitted shawl with confidence.* **Finished Measurements** 72″ / 183cm wingspan length, 22″ / 56cm from CO to BO edge measured along the center of the shawl.
