This is a lovely crescent shaped shawl worked from the top down. You will use 2 different colored yarns, one solid and one long striping, or 2 contrasting solids. This design starts with an I-cord cast on, German short row shaping, Fair Isle body and ends in a graceful pointed edging.

Materials: NOTE: When picking your 2 yarns, make sure the same colors are not in each ball or your design will become blurred). Optional: you may also use 2 solid colors, just make sure you have more yardage on one.
