Painting Shawls, by Stephen West

Painting Shawls is a collection of 13 shawl patterns by Stephen West, a designer known for bold color choices and intriguing shawl construction and techniques. Each of these patterns features a main color framing several contrast colors, using only stripes and slipped stitches to form playful, rhythmic shapes throughout the garment. West encourages knitters to choose their own colors for these shawls, and provides playful, intuitive tips for color selection along with practical tutorials on casting on, modifying the size, weaving in ends, and more.
