One winter’s eve I found myself craving COLOR. Multiple times I filled up my cart with Jill Draper’s beautiful selections, and finally landed on these four colors together. The combination is both playful and romantic; deceptively simple and just the cure for those needing an infusion of color in their knitting.

This shawl is constructed top down, with a simple texture and subtle color shifts. The pattern is very flexible should you find yourself having more or less of any one color or a different yarn weight.
