Choose 5 colors of fingering weight yarn and fade them together from light to dark. This shawl is knit sideways as you increase towards the border. I-cord frames the edges as you knit the large leafy lace pattern. Instructions include notes on how to fade your colors together, but you can customize your colorful fading sequence however you like. Fiery Foliage is the perfect large and cozy shawl for autumn knitting.
