Testing Call: Nasha 2.0 Shawl

Nasha 2.0 is a kite-shaped fingering weight shawl that captures the sweet vibrations and a sense of renewal that is associated with spring. The body of the shawl is worked in garter, mesh, and flower lace stripe stitch patterns. The sideways construction in bias lets the little flower lace motifs fall about gracefully when the shawl is draped.

I had designed Nasha originally as a one-skein fingering weight shawl in 2020. My writing has changed a lot since then. Nasha 2.0 is an update of the original pattern with several improvements and at a slightly larger size so it is suitable for spring and early fall.
