The Walking with Nala shawl is created with two yarns, a DK and a lace-weight. Two samples are photographed: the light brown version is made in KOKON’s yarns, while the white one is knitted in various yarns from the designer’s stash. The samples are knitted in a single colour, but you can also work the lace and garter sections in different colours or use a gradient yarn!
