Introduction
The Chubasco Shawl is inspired by unusual symmetry, in this case by the unexpectedness of shower rains, how the sky is clear one moment, and the other, the skies are falling and everything is chaos. By combining the intricate Crossed Loops stitch with its asymmetrical shape, the Chubasco Shawl is and unexpected challenge to knit, but so rewarding.
The Chubasco Shawl features an asymmetrical shape, worked from the shortest side to the opposite corner.
