The Sunglow Shawl is an asymmetrical triangle shawl that is worked flat from one corner with increases on every other row. A slipped garter stitch edging is worked on both sides of the shawl body, then carried around the corner to bind off the end of the shawl. Both charted and written instructions are provided.

The color and textures of the Sunglow Shawl remind me of golden afternoons in late summer, and it cheers me up every time I wear it. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did. Happy knitting!
