Three colors of squishy DK weight yarn and three textural stitch patterns combine to create the Desert Moon Shawl. Single color garter stitch and two textural two-color slip stitch patterns make this shawl fun to knit, and the DK weight yarn helps the asymmetrical triangular shawl fly off the needles in no time! Endless color possibilities await! Will you ombre? Keep the lightest color in the middle? Go for a high contrast or a subtle fade? Pick out three skeins of DK and enjoy!
