The Slasher Shawlette is a symmetrical triangular shawl featuring a Screaming Ghost motif in two-colour mosaic stitch. It is worked sideways from an I-cord tab, with increases shaping the first half and matching decreases shaping the second. The I-cord edging is worked along the shawl, and only one colour is used for two rows at a time. The pattern uses fingering and lace-weight yarn held together.

I was super excited to do this project, but apparently I misunderstood that there was actually not one but two slasher patterns!!
I thought I was ordering the double knit double sided pattern
Instead I got single mosaic (mosaic, I couldn’t understand why this mosaic knitting was being called double knit!) with suuuuper long floats that are totally unmanageable in the real world
My bad, I guess it was my fault for not being more careful with my selection, tho to be honest I never saw the two patterns together so never understood there were in fact two!
Better clarity from Qing maybe?

The pattern overall is great, there is a long section of floats, which would be nice if there is a tip on how to catch those or a reference to it.
Section 1 the dots are not staggered which they will be in section 2 would be awesome if they stagger from the beginning. (Personal preference)
I definitely will be knitting a few more Slashers, its a super fun knit

This is a stunning and fun pattern to knit!! I would recommend that some experience is required with doing many things at once, but once you get going it moves pretty quickly. I’d love to try a second one in a different weight!
