Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry(goes to new website)(opens in a new tab).

This top down shawl features five colors of Malabrigo Lace. Two strands are always held together for a thicker marled fabric. One color is exchanged at a time producing a smooth color gradation. Asymmetrical increases and decreases skew the center point to one side. Choose five colors or dive into your stash to knit an ombre rainbow. The possibilities are endless!
