Cloudy Skies Shawl

This fingering-weight triangular shawl is worked from the top down in a pretty lace pattern repeated throughout. A gradient yarn kit with four colours creates a lovely colour effect. Any amount of yarn may be used; be sure to finish at the end of a 12 row repeat. The lace pattern is easy to master. All wrong side rows are purled. This shawl is easy to wear with curved wings that wrap around your shoulders.
