Each town on the Jersey shore has its own Ferris wheel. At night, they are lit up in a rainbow of colors, some even with animated light shows, and can be seen from miles away.

This shawl, worked in two colors is a representation of the flashing lights of the Ferris wheel. It is worked in striped tiers of short rows. These stripes are not just decorative, they actually provide the shaping which creates the semi circular shape of the shawl. This pattern takes color well, so consider knitting each tier in a different color.

The pattern has a helpful set of photos to show some of the techniques used to join the tiers, or you can watch these videos to learn about the techniques.
