I have 7 skeins of Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn in the Stained Glass Colorway. You can see it here: link to picture of yarn colorway. I pulled this yarn out a couple of nights ago because I thought I found the perfect pattern for it. I found a free knitted shawl pattern that is called Spiral Staircase Shawl on the Ravelry website which I thought would be a good match for this yarn. I tried to start twice but I was not happy with the result.
I've knitted with this yarn before and I enjoyed the knit and my project turned out really well. I made a knitted neck warmer in another colorway of this yarn. It was an easy 3 x 2 rib pattern (link to that post here.) I also crocheted a nice scarf in this yarn and that was easy to make as well (link to that post here.)
I really want to use this yarn but I was having a hard time finding a pattern for this colorful yarn until I found the Granny Stripes Shawl pattern. The easy pattern is found here. The original pattern calls for color changes every two rows so my colorful yarn makes color changes so easy, like cheating.
This shawl can be made as big or as small as you want. I haven't decided how big I want to make this, but I'm planning on crocheting as least 5 skeins of this yarn and see how big that is.
This is my shawl after using one skein.
