This shawl came about as a way to showcase a subtle slip stitch pattern and two contrasting colours. This is a simple pattern which uses garter stitch and slipped stitches. Only one colour is worked in any row, so it’s an easy way to play with colour. The large version of this shawl uses almost all of the yarn, so if your tension is even slightly off we’d recommend making the smaller version, which is a little shorter.
