This asymmetrical ‘Anthem Shawl’ uses a fun combination of right and left leaning stitches to create diagonal ribbing for a majority of the shawl. The end is then completed with a geometrical lace design. This shawl is designed to wear draped over your shoulders or wrapped around like a cozy, oversized scarf.
