Plucky Meets Brassy was designed for my little sister, who has been on a journey to set aside her anxieties to become the best version of herself. The best version of you might be two bold contrasting colors in black and white or maybe in neon pink and charcoal grey, but the best version of my little sister is best represented in a sparkly ombre yarn.

This asymmetrical shawl was designed to display a gradient yarn in all its glory with a solid contrast color. The simple stitches highlight the ombre yarn as it shifts through different colorways, which also makes it a fabulous on-the-go project, for Advanced Beginners ready to stretch their legs, or for the more experienced knitter to enjoy knitting like eating a bag of potato chips on the couch.

This shawl is worked flat from the upper left tip towards the right edge. Stitches are decreased along one edge and increased on the other to give the shawl its classic asymmetrical triangle shape. This shawl also features an I-Cord edge and an I-Cord bind off.
