Autumn Bliss

Worked in garter stitch, Autumn Bliss is a side-to-side, asymmetrical, triangular-shaped shawl knit on the bias. It features autumnal-colored stripes and a fringe of beaded i-cords at its three points. The dangling beaded i-cords sparkle in the sunlight, much like colorful leaves in autumn. Colors of the shawl include off-white as the main color with garter stitch stripes of goldenrod, chartreuse, burnt orange, red, dark violet, ivy green, and dark forest green.
