Hmm… How about a half circle shawl? I like the pattern ”Citron” and it seems to work well with long colour repeats:
If the repeats are shorter this might be a fun option:

I’m thinking (read: Obsessively debating with myself) about working up this pattern for my cotton red/white/blue yarn I was fighting with last year. I have 800m of a ‘2’ weight. I’m not sure how it will work up… I really need to stop acquiring yarns without patterns in mind for them!

I’ve used similar yarn to make a shawl and just love the airy patterns. I think some of the fun of stashing yarn is later being challenged to find patterns to fit the yarn…it is part of the creative process to me! Am I helping?

I made this shawl for Chr1stchan for the Teenie Weenie Halloweenie swap
I actually started a pattern a lot like this over 5 years ago and thought I’d finish it for the swap. I figured it was almost half way done and it would only take me an hour or two to finish.
Easy right? Ah…. I quickly found out why I’d abandoned it in the first place. The pattern was so hard to figure out! It was written in another language and the diagram I had printed had faded over the years. It was impossible for me to read. Determined to make it I found The Lost Souls pattern on Ravelry and a fantastic tutorial by Fiber Spider on YouTube.
Seriously the easiest tutorial to follow. It stitched up super fast and easy.
I kept it on the smaller side to save time but I think it’s big enough to call a shawl and could even be used as a scarf or even a wrap for around your waist.
I used about 1 1/2 skeins of Caron Simply Soft in black.

He has to be the most articulate and patient YouTuber out there. Not only is he thorough but he speaks like he always has a smile on his face.

I love his soothing voice and I also got through some confusing parts of the pattern thanks to him. I need to find a shawl project…off to see what he has been up to!
