Worked in a lightweight “faux crochet” stitch, this shawl is a fun, colorful project with a variety of interesting new stitch motifs. The recipe is fully adjustable to accommodate whatever yarns and colors you have available to you. The finished shawl, worked in the recommended yarns, weighs only 85 grams. A little yarn will take
you a long way.

Worked in yellow, orange, green, and pink, my shawl reminds me of a delicious taco topped with pico de gallo, cabbage slaw, and cheddar cheese.
