Townline
Knit on the bias, Townline is a fingering weight asymmetrical triangular shawl. Thoughtful increases create a shape that is perfect for wrapping around your neck. Sections of surprisingly simple mosaic knitting are framed with meditative and relaxing garter stitch. A picot bind-off completes the shawl edge, mimicking the mosaic dot work. Designed in North Bay Fiber Elemental Fingering, this 100% cormo base creates a beautiful fabric that will last for years to come!

NOTES
• Shawl is worked end-to-end on the bias, casting on at one side and and working out to the other side.
• There will be an extra increase at the end of every sixth row.
This will form a slight curve at the top of the shawl for extra
comfort around the neck.
