This interesting asymmetric shape shawl is sometimes referred to as a kite shape. It had a noticeable line, or “spine” from tip to tip. As you are increasing at the beginning the shawl, the spine is in the center. After the shawl reaches the desired number of stitches, the spine shifts one stitch to the left on every RS row until the end tip.

Tiramisu, a beautiful self striping yarn with a soft halo really shines through the simple stitches and fun shape. Wear it cozy - wrapped around the neck, with a leather cuff or simply drape over the shoulders for light weight warmth.
