A subtle color change from cream to speckles to pink and then back again brings to mind the blush of innocence on a first date or a first kiss. This piece is delightfully lacey, yet warm and squishy as it is knit holding two strands at a time throughout. The shawl is worked on a bias using increases and decreases on each right side row. The main body has an easy to memorize stitch pattern that is a six row repeat. With twisted rib on both ends and an easy slipped stitch edging on the sides, you’ll have a finished shawl in no time!

Choose your favorite colors for your own unique gradient.
