The Tandem Shawl is an easy, mindless knit with a beautiful result.

The combination of Torzal and Mechita creates a beautifully marled fabric with rich texture and lovely drape.
Worked sideways from one tip, the shawl grows into an asymmetrical wrap.

The pattern uses two skeins of Malabrigo Torzal paired with one skein of Mechita.

Sample:
Torzal in Siri
Mechita in Fiona
