Tiny Waves Shawl

 

Hello knitters! Most general knitting patterns have right side rows where the pattern is worked, and wrong side rows that are simply done by just knitting or purling all the stitches. However, for the pattern that I've challenged myself to do this time, it has its pattern worked on both sides, and I've been trying to adapt it to a one side inclined shawl for more than a year now and I've finally succeeded . For this project, I've chosen another Japanese yarn that has a pseudo mohair texture. What encouraged me to pick it for making this shawl is that this particular pattern contains big eyelets, so the mohair covers them. The beautiful sequence of changing colors gives this shawl a soft and cozy look and feel. So start knitting and get yourself a very unique shawl by just repeating this simple twelve-rows pattern, and you will be done in no time.
