Description
The perfect balance of light with dark, simple with clever, and light with cozy, this generous shawl hits all the right angles. Stripes of varying widths are bent into chevrons at opposite ends, and the balance between the colors shifts evenly from end to end. This wrapper is worked in two halves that are grafted together in the center. The clean I-cord border wraps up a perfect package.
