On the Bias is a cute little shawl with endless possibilities. Carefully placed decreases and increases give the shawl its v-shape, which makes it easy to wear loosely over the shoulder, without falling off. Change yarn weight according to your plans of wearing it all day or only for special occasions.

Notes: On the Bias is worked in 2 pieces and the grafted together with Kitchener Stitch
