Reflector is the perfect project for two special skeins of fingering weight yarn. Alternating stripes in Stockinette Stitch and Garter Stitch create a subtle texture that complements the boldly contrasting colours. A simple Intarsia colour change at the middle of each row gives the shawl its unique two-colour look, and the Picot Bind Off adds a beautiful finished edge without competing with the bold look of the rest of the piece.

This shawl is started with a Garter Tab Cast On and worked with alternating Garter Stitch and Stockinette Stitch stripes. The centre spine stitches are maintained in Garter Stitch and there is a colour change on every row.
