SKILL LEVEL:
Adventurous Beginner: This pattern is for those knitters who are ready to use short rows to create a shaped wrap. Skills/concepts include German short rows and changing colors at the ends of rows.
Notes From the Designer:
Duga is the Croatian word for rainbow. No matter the language, a rainbow remains a symbol of hope and renewal for people throughout the world. The Kaleidoscopic Hues Luster Sport Kit provides a rich palette to wrap yourself in the beauty and comfort of a rainbow. This beginner-friendly pattern is worked entirely in garter stitch. German short rows, which are far easier than you think, create the wedge shapes that give this long wrap its extra flare on each end. You can complete this project in 21 days if you finish just one wedge every three days!

- Gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect yardage and size.
- This pattern doesn’t have a right or wrong side.
- You may find it helpful to place removable stitch markers every 50 sts.
- For best results, block your shawl to emphasize flared shape.

A beautiful pattern and I highly recommend it
Duga
Lovely, lovely pattern. Super easy. And the idea to do these wedges in rainbow colors is brilliant. I modified it a bit using the different shades of blue, just to use up some leftovers, still turned out ok.

Eye Candy
The patterns are all so eye catching. I look for elements for my own projects to use up a millenium's worth of yarn. I am excited to start knitting.

As always, Chandi tantalizes with beautiful patterns. I am a knitter and crocheter. Two beautiful patterns for free. Easy this one and comes out gorgeous, looking so elegant when paired with yarns that she suggests or of your own choosing! Two stitches, Knit, purl, Cast on. Cast off. You are always so generous and thoughtful. Happy birthday pretty baby!

I got this pattern because it looks an easy knit, and I’m just learning to knit. I’m a crocheter at heart. Hopefully I’ll understand the short row process.

Elegant Simplicity
I love everything about the Duga shawl: the simplicity of design, the drape, the elegancy. If you like a garment that is easy to knit yet still gorgeous, letting the yarn be the star of the show, then this is it. Pattern well written and easy to follow.
