This is an asymmetrical shawl that can be knitted sideways and can be blocked to a crescent/asymmetrical triangle shape. You can enjoy the easiness of garter stitch and stripes and the fun factor of Japanese Short rows. This is an easy knit design. This is knitted with three colors of yarn. Cream/natural is the main color, grey is used for the Stripes and Short Row sections. Orange, the third color is used only for the bind off.
