Ombrellone om-brel-ló-ne, Italian for umbrella, named after the brightly striped umbrellas with scalloped edges.

A half circular shawl worked with two contrasting colors in a DK weight yarn from the top down. Once the main color is established the contrasting color is incorporated as 2-row stripes and the shawl ends with the contrasting color as a subtle waving lace edge.
