This pattern was inspired by…well by life. Once you think you have all lined up, suddenly, it all turns chaotic!! But, sometimes it is necessary to make changes and shift direction, and it is not essentially a bad thing. Lots of good could come up from these changes. Like this shawl for example.
The body of this asymmetric shawl is worked with repeating lines of eyelets and the ending is done in netting stitch with i-cord all around. Malabrigo yarn gives it special effects.
The pattern is suitable for advanced beginners.
