Details
After designing Town And Country I thought it would be fun to take the colour blocks into a rectangular shawl. Then I thought, lets make it a little different yet again so I brought it to the side and added some fringes, then knotted the fringes simply because “why not, knot?”.
The self striping yarn adds a medley of colours to the simplicity of the solid colour blocks and makes for a lovely gradient fringe edge.If you aren’t a fan of fringes then just end it with a clean edge.
This pattern has 2 PDF’s. One is the pattern (with many instructional photos) and the other is a bonus photo tutorial on crossing the yarns at colour changes for perfect transitions.
