★ Stripes that change themselves, plus a brick edge

This contemporary shawl is as fun to knit as it is to wear. Self striping yarn changes colors as you go while a white brick look runs along one edge, so there’s nothing boring about this one.

Prefer to crochet? Here’s the Brick and Mortar Shawl, crochet version.

✨ What makes it work

• Self striping color. The yarn does the color changes for you.
• Brick edge. Slipped stitches build the white brick look along one side.
