This fun shawl is the result of a collaboration between 5 yarn companies (and me), who all dyed a special mini skein to be joined in one shawl! A collaborative project for the TNNA 2018 Winter show in Vegas, we wanted to tie the theme into some of the other things this city has to offer: bright lights, deep desert night skies (if one leaves the lights behind) and many incredible shows!

ERRATA:
Body Rows (Colro A) Section should read:
Rows 3-22: Repeat rows 1 and 2 ten times. – 81 sts
-> You are repeating the section 10 not 11 times to get to the 81 sts

This top down shawl is an updated take on the classic triangle shawl, with added width for easy wear-ability and fun stripe and drop stitch patterns creating a distinct Spotlight look.

Easy to knit and just the right size to try out new yarns and combine some bright colors with a hint of desert night!
