Intermingled

Playing with colors is one of my favorite things. Sometimes, a color that’s not usually a favorite is exactly what is needed to make a combination sing. Other times, as with this shawl, a gradient set that flows nicely into each other are made that bit more fun and interesting when the colors intermingle in the stitches. 

Intermingled is a top-down triangle shawl. It starts with a garter tab and each of the gradient colors is worked in turn in garter stitch, before the mosaic stitch pattern livens up the knitting. With a simple eight-stitch/eight-row mosaic pattern, the shawl grows quickly as you enjoy intermingling the colors you have chosen.
