Bee 🐝 Brave Shawl

A deceptively easy knitting pattern for the beginning knitter, or a quick knit for the experienced.  Bee Brave is a sport or worsted weight shawl Knit in the round in a mosaic slip stitch pattern with built in fringe. It‘s an easy way to learn to steek, and a fantastic use for that gradient or stash buster. On choosing colors: The MC should contrast or compliment the CC. The CC can be one color or as many as you like. Each cell row is a color and the number of cell rows can easily be adjusted to accommodate gradients.
