“Apollina” is a feminine form of a Greek name meaning “Gift of Apollo.” The strong geometric lines on this shawl bring to mind the rays of the sun, and Apollo is the Green god of the sun. This two color shawl has short row body shaping; starting at one side, you work short rows to the other side, alternating a series of two color short row wedges. The shawl is fairly simple, and easy to widen depending on your yardage.

Yarn: Fingering weight yarn, approximately 420 yds in A and 400 yds in B
Shown in Madeline Tosh Light (100% merino wool; 420 yds / 384 m per 3.5 oz / 100 g): 1 skein
each in “Oceana” and “Nutmeg”

Notes: This yardage will make a half circle. Shawl size is easy to adjust larger with more yardage. Suggestions are included at end of pattern.
