The Quintero shawl comes from my desire to have a wearable sized piece, while only using two skeins of yarn. It’s named after a beautiful golf course in Arizona, where I was vacationed while finishing this sample.

This shawl is perfect for using one of those speckled skeins that you couldn’t resist buying, coupled with a fabulous tonal for a winning combo! It is worked tip to edge, increasing on right side rows, to form a slightly asymmetrical triangle.

Yarn: The Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering

(This shawl left less than 20 grams remaining of each color. For this reason it is important to make sure that your gauge is correct.)

Note: Be sure to choose a yarn that blooms so the texture really stands out.
