Knossos Shawl, inspired by the ancient Minoan civilization art, is a truly timeless piece and a very satisfying knit.
Worked from the top down, this shawl features elements of mosaic knitting on the Stockinette Stitch background. Using 3 contrasting colors, Knossos showcases the kaleidoscope-like effect at the center spine.
