This asymmetric triangular shawl is the perfect way to maximize your mini-skeins and let your colors shine! Each of the contrast colors is worked in two row stripes while knitting just one color at a time. Special techniques are easily worked to expand those rows into picots and fireflowers, giving dramatic flair to this vibrant accessory.
