NOTES
The Caramel Granita Shawl is a wardrobe staple that features beautiful texture with a luxurious drape. The all-over linen stitch is a breeze to knit and adds a touch of sophistication to this easy to wear triangle shawl. This color block shawl is knit from side to side starting with a two-color linen stitch section and switching to a single-color linen stitch at the triangle point.

A Granita is a traditional blended Sicilian dessert perfect for a refreshing summer treat. To knit a solid color shawl simply replace the contrasting color sections with the main color. The size can also be modified by knitting more or less rows of each section. Keep in mind that adjusting the width will also affect the depth of the triangle.
