A modern twist on traditional lace, simple bands of bobbles and eyelet garter stripes make up this shawl’s body. Beautiful washes of color fade into one another as this crescent shawl takes shape. A delicate Picot Bind Off is worked in a contrast color to finish the edge.

The shawl is worked from the top down holding two strands of yarn together. Each color section fades into the next using a simple eight-row stripe sequence. To make a harmonious gradient, choose colors that either fade from light to dark or from dark to light.
