For her sixth annual Local Yarn Store Day design, Jessica of Double the Stitches is continuing to celebrate the beautiful, mutually beneficial relationship between knitters and their beloved yarn shops.

Enter Double Win - a striking mosaic knit shawl that embodies the joy of community, creativity, and connection.

This rectangular shawl weaves together two contrasting colors, each playing a vital role in creating bold, eye-catching patterns with simple slipped stitches. The result? A cozy, wearable piece that looks intricate but is easy and satisfying to knit.

Much like the bond between knitters and their local yarn stores, Double Win is built on harmony.

Yarn shops offer knitters a space to learn, find inspiration, and connect with others who share their passion. They thoughtfully curate a collection of quality yarns and helpful supplies, selecting each item with their community in mind.

In return, knitters help these shops flourish by expanding their stashes with inspiration for future projects, growing their skills through classes, and participating in the vibrant, creative community that makes each store unique. Their support of these independent small businesses truly makes a difference.

With every stitch of Double Win, you’re not just knitting a shawl … you’re celebrating the heart of your local yarn store.

Note about Yarn Selections: Double Win is knit using 3 skeins of Light Fingering Weight yarn in 2 contrasting colors, approximately 462 yards per 100 grams. The size of the shawl is easy to adjust. Combine solid, speckle, gentle tonal, or long gradient yarns that coordinate but aren't too perfectly matched so the mosaic stitches will shine. Sharply variegated colorways are not recommended for this design.

Participating shops will receive Ravelry codes for the pattern.
