“Lisa Pflug designed a version of this shawl for a friend who lost her home to Hurricane Katrina. Re-envisioned, this frothy swirl evokes watery depths while keeping you warm in the mohair embrace of Kidsilk Haze. Worked in double
strands of three shifting colors—trance, jelly, and hurricane—the motifs are joined as you go, creating the central panels first, then adding the outer motifs.”

All motifs are worked using 2 strands of yarn held together and assembled as you go. Complete center section of shawl first, beg with non-border motif and working diagonal strips (see chart for order and color). Border motifs are worked last.

Colours used in sample image: #582 trance (medium blue, A), #597 jelly (green, B), #632 hurricane (dark blue, C), 4 skeins each.
