PATTERN INFORMATION
Stormy Monday is a triangular, bias knit shawl in five shades of grey - from soft light grey to charcoal. You start knitting from the bottom lace edge, with the lightest colour, gradually decrease stitches at the top edge forming a triangle, and end at the right tip with the darkest colour.
My inspiration for the shawl was the name and the colourway of the gradient yarn I used, Stormy Monday, from Woo Sheeps Etsy shop.
