The Juxtaposition Shawl is a two-color, high contrast, reversible shawl with sections of stacked garter and a two-color brioche center. The top has a V cutout so it sits comfortably on the neck without bunching. This shawl was inspired by wanting a drapey t-shirt shawl to spoof up a normal outfit without wearing something too cumbersome. Knit in Fingering weight yarn, this shawl works best with contrasting colors to help pop the pattern design. This shawl design is made to fall over the shoulders well without having to hold it in place, so you can enjoy a little flair even when you’re on the move.
