Capturing the shifting colors and textures of the changing seasons, Glimpses of Winter is designed to maximize your favorite assortment of mini-skeins. The shawl is asymmetrical, worked from one corner into a kite shape. Stripes of half-double crochet and lace are juxtaposed with snowflake motifs in tapestry crochet, highlighting the color changes. The simple stitches are the perfect canvas for bright pops of color or a sophisticated palette of neutrals.
