Bold colour meets striking texture in this triangle shawl. Reverse stocking stitch creates a softly textured background for contrasting stripes, while slipped stitches form an eye-catching lattice across sections of the fabric. Lateral braids add crisp definition, bringing the different textures together. Drape it over your shoulders or wrap it around your neck for a colourful finishing touch.
