The BEAUTIFUL BEAST is a half-pi shawl worked from the top down featuring bands of bold mosaic colorwork alternating with easy peasy garter stitch rows. This combination of engaging and relaxing stitches makes for an enjoyable and varied knitting experience.

BEAUTIFUL BEAST is an excellent project to feature two of your favorite fingering weight skeins and to use up mini skeins and leftovers from previous projects. Choose colors that POP against one another for best results in the colorwork sections.
