Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This shawl was designed to be knit using two colours, but you can easily knit it in one colour. Yarns with long colour repeats would also work well for this shawl. I would strongly recommend using a solid or tonal colour for the lace pattern as a variegated yarn will obscure the lovely pattern. I have provided 3 different options for this shawl.
