Wrap up in your favorite colors. This simple color block shawl lets your yarn take center stage with squishy garter stitch and contrasting I-Cord edging.

This shawl is knit from end to end, increasing to the center of the shawl, then decreasing down to the end of the shawl. Style one maintains a 50/50 split of the shawl down the center, and style two splits the shawl into color quadrants. To finish, a contrasting I-Cord is applied.
