A Dream of Mine is light summer shawl. I saw this shawl in my dreams. I had been thinking about big summer shawl and fields of flowers. This asymmetrical triangle shawl features stockinette and bobbles. The shawl is worked sideways in one piece from one point towards the opposite edge and it ends with ruffle.

The shawl starts with a stockinette section with yarn A. Then follows a bobble and eyelet section with yarn B. These sections alternate and the three bobble sections are all different and the bobbles grow in size. The shawl ends with a ruffle with yarn B.

This pattern allows you to play with colors and yarns. With more solid color the bobbles will stand out better. Match that with colorful yarn for the stockinette sections or make each one of them in different color.
