Geneva Creek Shawl
The Geneva Creek Shawl is a simple 2 skein garter stitch crescent featuring progressive stripes in two colors. The simple yarn over increases at the start of each row make it easy to memorize the pattern, and the I-cord edge gives the final piece a clean, finished result. Whether you are new to knitting or just need an easy project to work on at knit night, Geneva Creek will do the trick.
