Quartz Shawl
A quick and fun way to create a fast shawl. Quartz shawl is the same stitch worked with different size needles to create a varying look similar to a quartz crystal.
The shawl is worked all in one piece and is then blocked to highlight the sweeping movement of the knitted stitches. If chosen, the shawl can be left unblocked creating a fun textured scarf. More yarn can also be used to create a longer scarf/shawl.
