Inspired by gorgeous rainbows found after the worst of storms, I created this simple beginner friendly shawl. This shawl is a great introduction to knitting with yarns held double every other row with either 2 fingering weights or a fingering weight and a mohair and simple garter stitch with fun fringe. You will begin with casting on and proceed to working through the main body of the shawl and then creating the fringe. The yarns used for this shawl were purchased from Hidden Pond Yarns (A link to their store is provided on the last page). This pattern contains written instructions.

TECHNIQUES
This shawl is knit on the bias. This means the right edge increases, while the left edge (at the marker) decreases on each right side row. To create the triangular shape the left side increases on each wrong- side row.
