~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chain of Fools is a shallow crescent shawl worked in 4 colors of fingering weight yarn. The transition between colors is modulated by a slip-stitch pattern of interlocking chains. Tassels make this lightweight wrap fun to wear in every season.

The shawl is knitted from the top down beginning with a garter tab and is worked in alternating sections of single-color stockinette stitch and mosaic colorwork.

The pattern uses 4 colors, however as few as 2 colors and as many as 8 could be used. Color option suggestions are provided in the pattern. This is a great shawl for using up your left-over fingering weight yarn.

The mosaic stitch pattern is both written and charted.
