This deceptively easy-to-knit shawl will impress you and your friends! Knit top-down with a combination of The Lamb & Kid and mYak yarns, this shawl features a bold and graphic mosaic square center spine in alternating colors and a fun striped rib border! Only 1 color is used at a time and the “colorwork” is achieved by slipping stitches. Choose your favorite 3 color combo!
