Mignonne is a delightful shawl full of elegant details. Simple techniques take you far in this little one. Indulge into your yarns as tiny flowers and gentle textures appear as you go, and surprise yourself with what a simple combination of techniques can bring to your fabric under your very own fingers. 

Make a quick comfort project at a larger gauge in scarf size, or indulge in a cozy, longer project in shawl size. At the end of a relaxing knit with a few interesting, couture-like details, you will have a lovely shoulder warmer and a perfect accessory for all seasons, to style with casual wear or over a dress or a jacket.

The border can be worked in a contrast color for a distinct flourish, or kept same as the body with contrast just in the details. There is lots of room to play with colors and texture for your own sweet Mignonne!
