Tickled Pink - is a fun and entertaining knit that will keep you engaged from start to finish! It is a triangular shawl that worked flat from the top down. Easy mosaic (just slipping stitches here and there), color blocking, eyelets, stripes, simple lace. No complicated techniques are used in this pattern. Lace and mosaic parts are both fully written and charted.

I recommend choosing two colors that have a high contrast to see the crisp lines and details of the shawl. And one color that pops, and that color will define the overall look of the shawl. Use solid, semi-solid, or lightly speckled yarns. I would avoid heavily speckled or variegated yarns for this design as they may obscure the design details.
