Kaizen Pattern Only

Please note that if you order a kit the pattern is included, no need to buy it twice!

Kaizen looks complex, but the hardest thing about it is a nifty little 2/2/2 cable. If you can juggle two cable needles, you can tackle this shawl! This was written while training for my third degree black - Kaizen is a Japanese concept representing the strive for continual improvement, however small, as a journey and not a destination. The stitch pattern is adapted from a Japanese stitch dictionary, making Kaizen feel like an appropriate name for this lovely shawl.
