Transverse is a rectangle shaped shawl worked in two colors, each in a different direction. Thanks to a ridge pattern and its seamless construction, this shawl is fully reversible.

Directions are written for fingering weight yarn, but the shawl can easily be knit with any yarn and any yardage.
Percentage of yardage required for each section is provided. Because of the construction and yardage given, the shawl can also be knit with more than 2 colors in order to use half skeins that are left over from other projects.
