My Better Half is an asymmetric triangular shawl knit from the right tip to the left edge. The pattern includes both written instructions and charts for the the mesh and eyelet sections.

Is one half really better than the other? This stunning combination of stitches compliment one another just perfectly! Super fun and surprisingly simply to knit…My Better Half will keep you engaged from start to finish. Simply choose two of your favorite colors and watch the magic happen as all of this textured goodness takes shape on your needles!

Yarn:
The stitch definition and texture of the mesh and eyelet sections are simply amazing when knit with The Fibre Co. - Cumbria fingering, but MBH is equally beautiful in a variety of other yarns.
