Introducing the first pattern in the second Game of Thrones Collection! The Great Game was designed to work with Miss Babs 7 Color Gradient Set in Caroline or Yummy 2-Ply, and is shown in the Edge of Reality colorway. Be sure to check out the three amazing Great Game Sets that Miss Babs has dyed up in Caroline, her new super luxurious fingering weight cashmere blend.
Edge of Reality, which is even more amazing in person and what I used to design The Great Game. The beautiful teal transitions to a teal/gray and then to charcoal. It's one of those colors that looks great on everyone!
This one is Edge of Temptation. I think I'm going to pick up a set of this and knit another Great Game. Those reds are really calling to me!
And Phoenix Rising. Beautiful creams, gray and black. This would go with anything and be a stunning Great Game shawl!
I designed The Great Game to be a simple to knit shawl that could be worn throughout the year. It has side to side construction with a delicate lace edging that is worked along with the body of the shawl. It's one of those knit's that becomes intuitive early on in the pattern and provides a relaxing without being boring knit. Aside from the lace edging, you won't have to worry about stitch counts which make it a perfect project to bring to knit group. Ive provided instructions for the lace in both written and charted format for your knitting pleasure. I hope that you guys enjoy knitting it as much as I did!
