The Elisia shawl is colorful and easy to knit, it might just be the perfect little knit to wear for Valentines Day~

The crescent shaped shawl is knitted top down and grows on the sides down to the bottom edge, all done in relaxing garter stitches.
Every four rows the color change happens. No worry, you carry the yarns up on one side, so there are very few ends to weave in.
