The Mediterranean Sunset Shawl is a triangular shawl worked in two shades of yarn. It will look more interesting if you chose variegated or speckled yarn as a contrast colour.

The shawl is worked top-down in garter stitch for the main body with the regular increases along the central spine of the shawl and along the wings, it also features a pretty elegant and easy to knit lace edge.

The pattern provides both written and charted instructions.

The picot bind off adds a lovely, simple, decorative look at the edge of your piece and accentuates this shawl’s lace border.
