Filled with meditative garter stitch and pops of slip-stitch mosaic knitting, this top-down triangular shawl is easy to knit with graphic results. Much like a romance that builds gradually over time, the simple stitches in this shawl create the intense anticipation of a Slow Burn that is satisfied when it finally comes off the needles. The result is an opulent and cozy accessory that is sure to warm up any cold evening.
