Ostara is the spring equinox festival celebrating when lightness and darkness are equal. This Tunisian crochet polygon segment shawl uses a light and dark tone of the same color to represent this equality of daylight and night. Worked in sport weight yarn using extended Tunisian stitches, this is a lighter weight spring shawl that can be worn with either the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ side facing as both have a finished, but different, look.
