“Strange fascination, fascinating me. Changes are taking the pace I’m going through.”
(David Bowie)

Changes Shawl it´s a side-to-side triangle constructed from a combination of 3 main stitches, stockinette, garter and lace, in a regular and rhythmic changing between one an another stitches. If we add it the color change we get a striped texture alternating the mentioned stitches, stockinette and garter, separated through a lace line.
It´s a good project if you are looking something easy to knit with a “not so simple” result.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! :)
