It’s the one-year anniversary of my collaboration with Heather of Ewe Ewe Yarns for our Sporty Forty knitalong! We both turned 40 in March of last year and this shawl/kerchief project was a fun way to celebrate. So now that a year has gone by, to celebrate my 41st birthday I decided it would be fun to offer a discount on my Sporty Forty pattern so that you can be Sporty Forty one more time! 🙂 Through March 21st, enter the coupon code SPORTY41 at checkout and you’ll get 41% off of the pattern!

Sporty Forty Techniques
Sporty Forty is beginner-friendly, so if you haven’t knit a shawl before, don’t worry – you can definitely do this! The two main techniques used throughout the piece are:
- Kfb (knit front-and-back)
- yo (yarn over)
To help give you a visual of how these techniques are used in the pattern, I create some photo tutorials. See below for the graphics!
Ewe So Sporty Yarn
The yarn used in this pattern is Ewe Ewe Yarn’s Ewe So Sporty Merino – it’s such a beautiful and fun yarn to knit with! Heather has great kit options for the yarn available on her website – click here to view all of the great color combos she put together for kits! And don’t forget to use the code SPORTY41 to get 20% off!
