Top-down triangle shawls continue to be one of my most favorite things to knit. This shawl design works equally well with a gradient yarn as it does with gradient mini-skeins or even a pairing of semisolid colorways. Sections of color are delineated with a row of contrasting color. The entire shawl is finished with a simple lace border.
