Tavira
Tavira is a two-color crescent-shaped shawl featuring texture, lace and beads…my favorite combination! The beginning of the shawl uses seed stitch that is broken up with contrasting garter stripes which makes for relaxing knitting. Then double-sided lace panels are worked, separated by contrasting garter stripes, and the shawl ends with an elegant beaded bind-off finish. You can choose to pair a neutral with a bright or maybe choose a lightly variegated color for the textured seed stitch and pair that with a solid contrasting color. Or how about using different colors or a gradient for the textured seed stitch for the beginning of Tavira and pairing that with a contrasting solid? The sky is your limit for the color combinations you can use!
