Thanks for checking out the Parallelism Shawl!

This asymmetrical shawl is a simple stockinette knit that uses slipped stitches to create a subtle mosaic pattern and crossed / cabled stitches to add stripes that run the length of the garment. The pattern calls for two skeins of contrasting yarn, and it is a great opportunity to show off some of those beautiful colors you’ve probably been saving. The pattern is quite easy to learn and memorize at parts, so this is a great project to work on while watching tv or multi-tasking. Whether you are knitting it for yourself, a friend, or a family member, the future recipient is bound to love it.
