Nightshift by Drea Renee Knits (pattern)

Nightshift by Drea Renee Knits

The Nightshift shawl by Andrea Mowry aka Drea Renee Knits marries her popular ‘Shift’ cowl techniques with the new Spincycle Yarns Dream State for a lush, large knit.

‘I had so much fun knitting The Shift cowl, that when the Spinsters told me they were coming out with a new worsted weight yarn, Dream State, I knew I had to make a Shift Shawl! This super fun shawl has an even larger canvas for color play! This pattern includes a recipe, to make it all your own, or row by row directions for those who want to play it safe!’ – Andrea Mowry
