This shawl design is the result of a knitting Mad Libs game between Nailya Plaskey and myself.

We each designed a body for the shawl, then swapped projects and designed the edging for each other’s shawls.

Nailya started with stockinette stitch using the first color and an elegant detail with the contrasting color. Kam finished it with a lace mesh in the second color and a delicate picot bind off to keep an airy and feminine look.

We hope you enjoy our collaboration! Choose two skeins of yarn to work with, and maybe swap your project midway with a friend.
