This shawl uses up to five yarn colors to create a gorgeous fade. Use a gradient set, or choose your own colors and create a unique fade! The interesting shape is created simply through additional increases, and makes a very wearable shawl, with extra warmth and coverage on your arms. Garter throughout makes for a fun, soothing, and squishy knit!
