Celsius is a cool, chill stunner of a shawl that adds in some sizzling stripes on a gorgeous background of stranded color work and short row/stripey shenanigans!

Knit from tip to fringe, Celsius starts with some squishy garter stitch short rows and ends up in the round for the color work finale that makes that center POP!
