This striped garter stitch shawl uses five contrasting colors of sportweight yarn to create a stylish wrap that can be worn in a variety of different ways.

Stitch counts are based upon an exponential function, where half the stitches of the previous row are worked in the subsequent row. These short rows stack up on top of each other to produce a dramatic flare at one end of the shawl.

Instructions for short row shaping using the wrap and turn method are provided in the Special Techniques section that is included in the pattern.

Many thanks to Lisa Check of Flying Goat Farm for the generous yarn support.
