The new Tilo shawl
The shape is a cool triangle, only with a flat bottom. The shawl grows towards the top with step like increases and changing color blocks. A floating stitch pattern and a stranded two color knitting pattern with a bit of lace incorporated amongst relaxing garter stitches make this shawl a fun project.

Beautiful contrasts in the yarn colors here. See the info about the yarn used below…
