This shawl is designed with two 500 yard cakes of gradient yarn. For the mosaic design to work correctly the two cakes should be the same colorway.

This shawl begins at the neck with a provisional cast on of 7 stitches. The neck border continues down the shawl to create a beautiful seed stitch edging on each side of the shawl.

There is a small lace area before the mosaic slipped stitch design. After the mosaic slipped stitch design the shawl ends with lace.

The gradient yarn I designed this shawl with can be purchased here.
