Give Me the Slip

Give Me the Slip is a gorgeous shawl! It is knit side to side in a long biased rectangle, and the beautiful mosaic stitch pattern is created with slipped stitches. Only one color is worked per row, so it's an easy first foray into colorwork. I used a solid main color paired with a 6-color gradient set from Miss Babs, but you can use any number of contrast colors from just one to an entire stash clean-out! As written, the shawl is 60" (150cm), but can be bound off at any time, longer or shorter.

Differences in gauge will affect size, drape, and yardage requirements. **Yarn:** fingering weight: MC: 600 yards / 550 meters; CC total: 800 yards / 734 meters. Any number of CCs can be used, from just one to a whole stash clean-out. The Miss Babs sample used 6 CCs of 133 yards (38g) each. **Notions:** tapestry needle to weave in ends. **Sample knit in:** Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply (100% superwash Merino; 400 yards/ 110g) in Half Past Midnight (MC) and Turned Into a Newt Gradient Set (6 CCs).
