GENERAL INFORMATION:
This asymmetrical shawl is knitted from a few cast on stitches at the point to the broad edge. The shape is created with simple increases at the edges and decreases to create the spine of the shawl.
The shawl is knitted in garter stitch with two very contrasting colours and a few slipped stitches to create the patterned effect.

Recommended yarn: Malabrigo Mechita sock weight yarn, 100% merino wool, 384m / 420yds / 100 g.
MC: (coloured yarn): 384 m / 420 yds sock weight yarn. Shown in Malabrigo Mechita colourway Diana.
CC: (neutral): 384 m / 420 yds sock weight yarn. Shown in Malabrigo Mechita colourway Pearl.
