Thanks for checking out the Echelon Shawl! This easy, two-colored shawl knits up fast and is perfect for those looking for a relaxing garter-stitch project. The pattern makes use of intarsia to combine two colors within the same row, and adjacent right triangles give the typical asymmetrical triangle pattern a clever twist. Due to the geometry, the colors of the Echelon shawl have a convenient 2:1 ratio, making it easy to know exactly how many skeins of yarn you will need.
