Flannel Crush Shawl

Construction

The Flannel Crush Shawl features an allover mosaic colorwork pattern, with only one color used at a time. This triangle shawl is worked flat beginning at one corner and shaped with increases along one edge, resulting in an asymmetrical triangular shape. The shawl has built-in I-Cord edges and an I-Cord bind off.

100% Non-Superwash Fine Merino
(328 yds / 300 m per 100 g)

2 braids (1 of each colorway)
(one 4 oz / 114 g braid of each colorway, spun end-to-end and plied together, resulted in a 236 g skein with 880 yds / 805 m)

To substitute the Contrast Color yarn used here, I recommend using a sport weight yarn with marling or color transitions to create an effect similar to handspun.
