Westknits Shawlography Kit in Bellissimo 4

Why you'll love it

Knit the breathtaking Shawlography shawl by Stephen West, originally released as the Westknits Mystery Knit Along in 2021. This inventive and playful design is full of colour, texture and technique, making it a truly captivating knit. The best part is that Stephen has created step-by-step video tutorials on YouTube, so you can knit along and learn directly from the designer as you go.

The shawl begins with a dramatic spoked semicircle created from short-row wedges, before shifting into stripes and textured bands. About halfway through, garter-stitch wings are added to extend the shape, and the shawl finishes with bold diagonal stripes. Along the way you’ll explore an array of techniques including short rows, bobbles, i-cord loops, slip stitches, brioche, welts and more.

We’ve curated yarn sets in Bellissimo 4ply Merino Extra-Fine, a beautifully soft pure wool that shows off stitchwork and colour play perfectly.

This shawl is one of Stephen West’s most iconic designs and a joy to knit. With its inventive textures, bold colour play and engaging construction, Shawlography will keep you entertained from cast on to cast off — and you’ll finish with a truly show-stopping piece.
