Picnic in the Park is a sophisticated, classic shawl that utilizes mosaic knitting techniques to create a woven pattern. Its versatile triangle shape allows for it to be worn many different ways. Warm your neck in style by tying it at the shoulder, front, or back. Or wear it over your shoulders as a jacket alternative on a crisp Fall day.

The two-color knit uses two skeins of fingering weight yarn. Choose a light and a dark pair for a high-contrast look that shows the pattern well or two skeins closer in shade for a more subtle look.
