This irregular-triangular shawl is knitted from one corner outwards and uses stripes of 3 different lace stitches and garter stitch. The choice of bold, hand dyed colours and beautiful alpaca-silk yarn makes it a statement accessory that can be worn multiple ways.
The colours remind me of Viola flowers in their multitudinous shades of purples and lilacs set against a Spring green
The advantage of using hand dyed yarn is the way the semi solid purple is picked out so nicely in the variegated yarn.
