This glorious fade uses six custom shades of Madelinetosh Tosh Sport, all inspired by the 80s and classic movies directed by a certain icon that we all know and love. Generously sized and candy-sweet in color, this shawl is made extra squishy by holding two strands of yarn together throughout.

This shawl is knit from the top down, and is easily customizable to accommodate different weights of yarn, and different yarn amounts. Notes are provided in the pattern for roughly how much yarn (by a percentage of overall weight) to use for each section.
