Level 2 · Finding Your Rhythm
“I've finished a few hats or cowls and can read my knitting.”
New in this project: A garter stitch triangle shawl with a simple applied i-cord edge, and a different color on each wing.
If you get stuck: Browse our Knitting Knowledge tutorials, ask in the Secret Society of Knitters community, or email Heather.
Choose three colors, see how they play off each other, and let this garter stitch shawl show them off! 🎨 The Phoenix Wrap is worked in garter stitch with one main color held throughout and a different color for each wing. An applied i-cord finishes the edges nicely.
I designed 13 colorways as a jumping off point for you! No stress about color... just a fun knitting project. Choose the combination that makes you smile, and I'll ship everything you need to your door!
Paper pattern and digital PDF download included with kit purchase.

Why this kit is pure joy to knit
- Color plays the lead: The stitches are simple, so your colors take center stage. Each colorway is designed so the main color and wing colors will look great together.
- The 3-ply magic twist: Our premium Australian merino, spun and dyed in Italy, has a crisp, springy 3-ply construction, so your stitches stay bouncy and the yarn glides through your fingers.
- Irresistibly soft against the skin: Ewe So Sporty is custom-milled from super-fine Australian sheep fiber, soft enough to wear right around your neck and shoulders.
- Real-life care: I believe we should actually wear and love our knits. This shawl is machine washable in cool water and dryable on low, so it's ready for real life.

Questions you might have
What's in the kit?
You'll get 4 skeins of Ewe So Sporty in the colorway you choose (2 main color shown at the top, 1 of each wing color), plus a printed copy of the Phoenix Wrap pattern. A US 9 (5.5 mm) 24” circular needle and a tapestry needle aren't included.
I can't find my pattern. What should I do?
A printed copy of the pattern is packed in your kit. If you'd like a PDF copy too, it's free on the Phoenix Wrap pattern page, or email hello@eweewe.com with your order number and I'll send it right over.
Is this kit right for me?
This is a Level 2 project. The shawl is knit in garter stitch, and the edge is finished with a simple applied i-cord. If you've finished a few hats or cowls and can read your knitting, you're ready for it. If you get stuck, our Knitting Knowledge tutorials and the Secret Society of Knitters community are here to help, or you can email me.
Will the colors look like the photos?
Screens vary, so a color can look a little different in person. If you're unsure about a colorway, email me before you order and I'll help you choose.
Should I order extra yarn?
The kit has the amount of yarn the pattern calls for. If you'd like to make the shawl larger, or you know you knit looser or tighter than most, it's better to order extra now. Dye lots vary from batch to batch, and I can't always match a specific lot later.
How do I care for my finished shawl?
Easy! Our yarn is superwash merino, so you can machine wash your shawl inside out in cool water and tumble dry on low. All of our yarns are 100% fine superwash merino wool from Australia, spun and dyed in Italy.
How soon will my order ship, and what does it cost?
I pack and ship orders within one business day, six days a week including Saturday mornings. They go out by USPS Ground Advantage from Oceanside, California, so delivery time depends on USPS and where you live. Shipping is free on US orders over $75 and $5 on smaller US orders, and you'll get a tracking email when your order is on its way.
Can I return my yarn?
Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of receiving them. Email hello@eweewe.com with your name and order number and I'll take care of you. If something arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, let me know right away and I'll make it right.
