The choice of the right yarn is completely free. Combine small scraps of different colors and marvel at a great result.

Make sure the yarn weights roughly match. You should adjust the needle size for yarns that are too thick.

This way you can remember all your projects and bring them together. You will notice that you have a preference for certain colors and they appear especially often.

Have fun with the colors and memories!

You start with three threads and needles size 3.5 mm. One thread of Merino from Knitting for Olive and two threads of leftover yarn.

You knit an I-Cord edge of 3 stitches, meaning the first three stitches of a row are always knit, the last three stitches of each row are always slipped with the yarn in front.

The basic pattern is:

Right side row: alternate 1 purl stitch, 1 knit stitch (increases are sensibly added)

Wrong side row: knit all stitches

You increase every 8th row (= wrong side row), here you knit 3 sts knit (= I-Cord), increase 1 stitch from the cross thread, knit right until three stitches before the end of the row, slip these with the yarn in front.

The pattern is super simple, quick, and will delight you because it looks beautiful from both sides.

In the Remember Me shawl, the transitions of the individual yarns are special. A base color (Merino from Knitting for Olive) is knitted continuously. Here you can choose a color that matches the color range of your leftovers. I chose a light shade (powder).

Make sure to change the colors of the leftover yarns one after another to create a particularly beautiful transition.

Here you can simply knit the next color in shortly before the end of one yarn. It’s best to knit about 10 stitches with both colors (that means a total of 4 threads). Then you can remove the old color. 

As a little special touch, I left the threads sticking out about 2 cm from the knitted piece, so you can still admire them individually. If you prefer, you can also cut them off close.

The protruding threads especially highlight the different colors. I really like that I can still see them individually like this.
