Wondering Colors Shawl
Wondering Colors is easy to make and easy to wear asymmetrical triangle-shaped shawl. You start at one tip and work your way along until your bind off creates the triangle point and the other tip. This shape creates plenty of snuggly fabric to wrap around you but none of the cumbersome depth to wrangle. The loose gauge and garter rows create the perfect amount of drape and squish. It uses two skeins in their beautiful natural colors and one skein that is variegated. The simple slip stitches worked in garter keep this a simple knit that looks much more complicated. I love picking up single skeins of farm yarns and you don't always know what to do with those single skeins. This fun-to-make shawl makes the most of those precious skeins.
