Easy Guy Shawl is a striped triangle shawl, knit from the top down. It’s designed to show off a gradient or multicolored yarn against a contrasting solid or tonal shade.

The sample shown is knit in Cascade Heritage Wave for the gradient-stripe effect, with Malabrigo Yarn Sock in Solis as a tonal/solid contrast color.

Easy Guy is an easy project, with just a couple of lines of instructions to keep in mind once you’re underway. But it does have a few interesting details, including a bias-knit triangle beginning and two types of increases.
