The Color Adventure Shawl Two is an asymmetrical triangle shawl that works best with a color-changing yarn that has long color changes like the sample yarn, Gauge Dye Works self-striping shawl yarn. Instead of working specific row amounts, whenever the color changes, you change stitch patterns.
All of the stitch patterns are simple enough for beginners – but interesting enough to keep knitters of all levels engaged.
The final section introduces some rows of eyelets, more simple texture, and finishes with a few rows of garter stitch and a picot bind off.
