SKEINO Floating Garden Shawl Tutorial

Floating Garden thumb

The Floating Garden Shawl is an elegant shawl/poncho hybrid, easy to wear and fun to knit in gorgeous SKEINO handpainted yarns. Visit one of the links below to get your yarn kit and free pattern.

The free Floating Garden Shawl pattern is available here on Ravelry.

The colorway I’m wearing in the video is Daphne. The colorway I show (unknit) is Connie. The pin I used to close my shawl is called a pennanular brooch, and is available at many Etsy stores.

SKEINO has their own YouTube channel, you can check it out to see a variety of videos on knitting and yarn dyeing.

The nail polish I’m wearing is by Julep, color “Lorraine”.

Edited to add – after a request in the YouTube comments, here is the image of the schematic drawing I used in the video.
