Flamingo Shawl — Bright Pink Parallelogram Knitting Pattern with Feathered Stitch Detail

This flamingo shawl is a playful, bright pink parallelogram wrap that uses a simple feathered stitch repeat to create a light, airy texture. Note: the instructions below use knitting abbreviations (k, kfb, yo, k2tog). If you expected crochet, this pattern is a knitted design worked back and forth.

Materials: 2 skeins Knit Picks Palette in Rouge; size 9 (US 5.5 mm) circular needles (helpful for holding many stitches during the center section). Block after finishing to open up the stitch pattern.
