Blushing is a fingering weight (4ply) shawl perfect for a pretty gradient, lovely solid, or lightly speckled yarn. It is designed to give you all the benefits of a bias shawl like maximum length for meterage and an easy to wear style, without the pesky shaping all the way through your project.

This shawl is worked from corner to corner with a series of increases to set-up the width, a meditative repeat over the body, and a speedy finish resulting from rapid decreases which means that there is no lengthy cast-on or cast-off.

Instructions are fully written and include charts for the lace panel repeats. A tick sheet with stitch counts and repeat tracking is also provided.
