Vaski soi shawl knitting pattern

Vaski soi is a slightly asymmetric triangular shawl. It is worked in the shape of an arrow from one corner to the long edge on the opposite side. The four colors of the shawl are meant to have a good contrast, but the shawl will also look great with colors close to each other fading from one shade to another. The Finnish phrase vaski soi means that a brass instrument is being played.
