A little bit of glitz…
This shawl is certainly not over the top, in fact I would call it understated elegance.
It is easy to wear and this crescent shape grows pretty quickly. As the name suggests, there is a bit of shimmer in the yarn. A brightly shining silvery metallic is included in the all new Glitzy skeins just created for this project in three color combinations.

The pattern is entirely written and offers a “how to video link” for the two color I-cord bind off, framing the bottom edge.

The blocked size as shown: 70” along the bottom border and 14” in middle height.

Yarns used here
Color 1- A skein of Glitzy. 255 yards comprised of 8 changes in yarn, colors and textures including a bit of sheen, hence the name. Each skein holds an organic cotton, linen, rayon, a metallic twist and viscose in lace, fingering, sport and DK weights.

Color 2- A skein of Organic cotton, 125 yards in a DK weight.
