This versatile and effortless piece could be worn for a night at the opera or to keep your shoulders warm with a cotton sundress in the spring.

 

This chevron textured fabric creates a fetchingly curved shawl that drapes nicely around the shoulders. Knit with a fingering weight yarn at a looser gauge helps keep the fabric fluid and flowing.

This shawl is worked flat from the long outer curved edge to the shorter inner curved edge.

 

Yarn requirements: Fingering weight yarn; 75 yards in Color 1 (for the edgings) and 400 yards in Color 2 for the main body. If you wanted to do a single-colored shawl, you’d need 475 yards.
