Franjitas Shawl by Gabriela Calderini

Craft: Knitting

This is a nice triangular shawl with lots of drape and an easy feel. Knitted in Feliz, a gorgeous not too wooly yarn, it is perfect for those chilly Spring nights.

It is knitted from the central point working your way down by adding stitches at the sides and center of the shawl. It is worked in bands, alternating Garter Stitch and variations of Twisted Rib stitch. In the two color version, each band is made in a different color.

If you are knitting it in one color, simply disregard the color instructions. The shawl is trimmed in a pretty peaked lace trim.
