Arcadia is a bias parallelogram shawl made of two congruent triangles knit seamlessly in garter stitch in four colors. The simple garter stitch color block design lets the beauty of the yarn take center stage. Its beautiful drape and generous size make it light enough for Spring but warm and cozy when wrapped around like a scarf.
