Lacy Stripes Shawl
This asymmetrical triangular shawl starts with just three stitches and grows to a beautiful lace border. The lace-insert and border patterns are easy to memorize and give a striking effect with the smooth shifting of the different gradient colors. The bold cherry yarn contrasts with the cool gray-blue gradient yarns.
