We have always had a little bit of a love affair with the simply beautiful Garter Breeze shawl pattern by Stephen West. We have made several versions over the years and we are so thrilled to now be able to share our own interpretation of it.

This pattern is modern, versatile, soft, light, & just a pure joy to knit. We were so inspired to be able to play with color in our version, and we have spent a lot of time formulating and choosing the options carefully so that each finished shawl will be a wearable work of art.

Whether you like neutrals, grays, greens, pinks, or blues, we have put together a kit we think you’ll love, using the ever beautiful Ito Sensai silk mohair for a stunning lightweight finished piece.

Our limited edition kits are available now in 5 color options

Gauge is: 20 sts x 52 rows to 4 inches in garter stitch on a size US 3 needle.

Colors of Sensai included in the kits:

Caramel Kit: Caramel, Charcoal, Angora, & Goat.

Blue Kit: Billard, Smoke, & Charcoal.

Green Kit: Pool Green, Moss, Angora, & Snow.

Pink Kit: Coke, Cherry Blossom, Angora, & Goat.

Grey Kit: Angora, Charcoal, Smoke, & White (in this kit you have enough yarn to choose if you would like the Smoke or Charcoal to be the border color)

PLEASE NOTE: 1. The pattern is not included in this kit and you will need to purchase it separately here.

2. We have very carefully calculated the yardage needed per color for the exact color layout of stripes and border we give you. So, though you are welcome to experiment and be creative there may not be enough of certain colors if you change the order in which you knit the stripes.

If you fancy making your own color combinations the yarn is available here and you will need:

Section 1: approximately 4.75 grams of each color

Section 2: approximately 10.5 grams of each color

Section 3: approximately 22 grams of the color you start and end with, and 15 grams of the secondary color.

Border: approximately 5 grams

A Pattern Note: When Stephen says “Kfb to last 3 stitches, turn to work WS” you are actually making a short row when you skip the last 3 stitches and turn. Later in the pattern he says “k to the last st while closing the short row gaps.” Stephen has made a very useful video that shows you how to close the short row gaps.
