Reminiscent of the rainbows found over the Rocky Mountains in Western Alberta, this gorgeous shawl radiates with similar colours. Simple stockinette stitch and soft garter, finished with a crisp lace border, makes this crescent shawl a dreamy accessory for every knitter.

Shawl is worked flat, from the top down. As there are 12 colours in the Prismatic Mini Skein set, there are 12 separate CC in the pattern. Colours are used in the following order:

CC4: Cherry (red)
CC5: Cayenne (reddish orange)
