Cape Town is the beautiful place in South Africa where the Cowgirl Yarns dye-house is located. I wanted to showcase one of their amazing multis in a project, and this shawl was born.

Slipped stitches form bands of plaid that are separated with breathing sections of stockinette. Knit from the top down, this project is very straightforward.
