Contrasting garter stitch stripes and a chevron edging of special yarns create a mix of colours, textures and shine in this project. The shawl is worked as a top down crescent shape. Wear it in a bandana style with the centre at the front, or wear it sideways or with the centre at the back, knotted or secured with a shawl pin. The pattern lists all the required skills and includes detailed marker set up to make the stitch pattern transition to the chevrons easy.
