This shawl is knit from the top down and is crescent shaped. It uses garter stitch sections with eyelet sections throughout the body, and has a ruffled edging. It uses two different bases in the same colorway to achieve a tonal, striped look. Feel free to use different colorways or even two of the same base. Shawls are a great way to play with color and texture.

This shawl evolved over time, but the main idea was a light, wispy design, almost “cloud-like”. When I settled on a yarn, I knew it was like a storm cloud.
