Pull it Up Shawl or Blanket
The bold geometric design on the “Pull It Up Shawl or Blanket” will keep you cozy and warm at any size.
It’s written in a way that allows you to repeat it as many time as desired which also means you don’t need to use worsted weight yarn to get a finished piece that’s a functional size for you.
Interlocking & Mosaic
Pull It Up comes with the fully written pattern and charts for both of my preferred colorwork techniques: interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.

Original Blog Entry
Triangles and angles seem to be a very popular design choice lately. When I was designing this one I wanted a big, bold design that would work as a shawl (or, half-blanket, as I like to think of them) and as a full blanket.
This rectangle shawl will drape over your shoulders and keep you cozy and warm. The triangles will always be pointing up! Repeat the pattern a few times and you will get a blanket. The design is quite abstract and these big blocks of color are modern and punchy!

Repeats
The pattern begins with a long foundation. The charts show the repeated section; to make it wide enough for a shawl you need to repeat that section six times.
A sample of the interlocking pattern looks like this: Ch3, 1F, *7B, 17F, 6B*, 1F, ES
The mosaic pattern looks like this: JS, (sc1, dc1) x2, *sc1, dc1, sc57, dc1*, sc1, dc1, sc1, ES
Having the repeated section *between the stars* is the same setup as I used with my MusicCAL and Summer Direction CAL patterns. The outer edge border is just straight lines. You repeat the instructions between the *s. I have suggested that you repeat the middle section 6 times to create the width for a shawl.
If you’d like to make a blanket you’ll need to repeat the full shawl three times. Those instructions are included in the pattern as well.
