DK Daisy Chain Shawl
DK Daisy Chain Shawl is a reversible design worked in marled garter stitch with two strands of different colour yarns held together. The double-knit motif is worked in stockinette with yarns separated for front and back.
The shawl is shaped as a triangle that makes half a square. It is worked from the bottom corner up in two stages. You start with a mitred square, then work two triangular side panels.
This pattern is written and charted for three sizes. Shown in size Small (rose and teal sample) and Medium (gold and silver sample)
