This shawl came about as a way to play with the impact that the spacing of stripes has on the look of a design. This is a simple pattern which uses garter stitch and basic shaping to form an elongated diamond. Only one colour is worked in any row so it’s an easy way to play with colour. The geometric lines of this shawl suggested black and white to me, but any strongly contrasting colours would work well.
