SPRING FLING MINI SHAWL


I love a Shawl.  It’s a great accessory and can freshen up any outfit. This shawl is asymmetrical  which creates  interest in the shape and stripe pattern.  The finished Shawl has a nice drape and is very comfortable.  I used the wonderful garter stitch which makes it an easy knit and the color changes will keep your interest.  Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did.
