Description
Garter stitch and simple intarsia come together in this easy shawl. As Megi points out, this shawl includes ¼”a section of tried-and-true grey and a section of boldly stated yellow, but instead of making two shawls for different moods, you can work them together and construct one harmonious piece. When worn about the neck with the point in front, this shawl can be wrapped so that it looks like it is only striped, or with the color block sections on top. Worn around the shoulders, the two different colors are highlighted in front with the striped border, with the center square motif in the back.¼”
