Why You’ll Love Festival of Stitches
The Festival of Stitches by Lisa Hannes is a fun, colorful knitting project designed to keep you engaged from the very first section to the last. Featuring an exciting combination of mosaic knitting, cables, eyelets, textured stitches, and bold color blocking, this shawl delivers plenty of variety without relying on complicated techniques like stranded colorwork, intarsia, brioche, or Fair Isle.
Originally released as a Mystery Knit-Along (MKAL), the pattern is now available as a complete PDF while preserving its original clue-by-clue format. Every section is fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the size or make the most of the yarn you have available.
With its generous rectangular shape and beautiful drape, Festival of Stitches creates a versatile accessory that adds color and texture to any wardrobe.
