Inspired by the festive and colorful artform of Rangoli, the art of making beautiful designs on floors and courtyards, this shawl is knit top down from the center out in a combination of lace and slipped stitches. The border is worked in a stitch pattern that combines lace and slipped stitches. All the stitch patterns use 2 colors but only one color is worked at a time.

The pattern may be worked from charts or written instructions. The pattern is written for 2 sizes with detailed instructions for color and size modifications. Make the design your own by working it with as few as 2 colors or with a little bit of every color in your stash!
