The Shape of Color Shawl - a knitting pattern

The shawl begins at the top center and is worked outwards to the border. The main body of the shawl is worked in various stitch patterns with a 3-stitch Garter border along both edges. Each section is worked in one or two contrasting colors, creating a visually pleasing effect. A simple two-color brioche border forms the bottom edge of the shawl.
