We don’t have many sea shells here in Montana, but I do remember going to California beaches when I was little to search for shells. The colors in this shawl which fade from one to the next reminded me of the pearly pinks and iridescent greens inside the rough exteriors of some of these treasures. The asymmetrical triangle shawl is made of very simple stitches which stripe to fade one color to the next. Easy to memorize and fun to make!

This asymmetrical shawl begins at the small point and gets wider as you work. In the color-changing sections, please note that you will sometimes be working consecutive rows with the same side of the work facing you; you will not turn at the end of these rows, rather you will slide the shawl to the beginning of the same row just worked and begin the next row at the same place.
