Knit in the amazing colors and soft hand of Magpie Fibers’ Swanky DK, the Edison shawl combines eye catching sequence knitting colorwork, a classic Eyelet Check textured border and a lovely picot edge resulting in a lovely statement wrap. Knit it in the smaller size to wear as a neckpiece or in the larger size to wear as a wrap. Edison is a fabulous addition to your wardrobe or accent to your chair or couch!

The solid color version, knit for my husband, is shown in Ritual Dyes’ Priestess in color “Wild Hand”, a custom color for my local yarn store of the same name.
