Alternating ribbons of garter stripes and classic Old Shale lace undulate across the asymmetric shape of the Rhawnhurst Shawl.
Worked from the base of the triangle to the tip, the shawl is shaped with short rows and the straight edge has a smooth I cord edging.

Choosing colors: For the striped sections, I recommend a speckle for Color A and a high contrast solid for Color B. Select a color that’s in the speckle for Color C. I chose a pink, even though it’s a bit out of my comfort zone, and I love how the colors work together!
