Turkish Delight - Designed by Rachel Brockman. A colorful shawl is a perfect accessory to brighten up cold winter days. Our Colorburst yarn self-shades into beautiful tones as you work, making the ‘color work’ as simple as can be! Turkish Delight uses two colors of Colorburst worked in a mosaic motif inspired by the tasty confection. The result is a show-stopping accessory you’ll want to wear all season.

This shawl incoporates both garter stitch stripes and mosaic knitting. Only one color is used per row. Do not break yarn at color changes.

In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise with yarn held to wrong side of work.
