With long, sweeping lines that intersect in a bold central motif, this unusual scarf’s best feature is the opportunity it provides to play with color and texture.
 
This unique construction, inspired by quilting, starts with a central triangle worked side to side. You then pick up stitches along the sides of the triangle, and build the shawl outwards in the same way that a quilter adds sequential strips of fabric to make a log cabin quilt block.
 
Choose a subtle gradient, pops of bright color, or bust your stash – this shawl works well with solids, semi-solid, and textured, and variegated yarns, too!
