The Journey Shawl is a lightweight, asymmetrical accessory filled with beginner Tunisian crochet stitches and eye-catching colorwork. It starts off simple, with 1 color going 1 direction. Then, 1 by 1, a new line is created off the previous, gradually growing into a more complex design of 12 vertical and diagonal lines.

The pattern offers easy to follow, row-by-row instructions and charts for 3 colors, but since the pattern specifies how much yarn you need PER stripe you could use up to 12 different colors! (Great for getting rid of those scraps!)
