This is a PDF knitting pattern.
This top-down shawl is all about crisp clean lines and playful color combinations. The columns are achieved by slipping stitches, so you only work with one color at a time. I used seven colors in my sample, but you can use as many colors as you like to customize the colorful stripes. I-cord edges frame the semi-circular shape for a crisp clean finish.

Yardage
Color A - 80yds / 73m
Color B - 200yds / 183m

Color F - 60yds / 55m with a single strand of fingering weight or 120yds / 110m with 2 strands lace weight held together

To create an extra fluffy effect, use 2 strands of lace weight mohair for colors D & F. I used 430yds / 393m for the small size with 2 strands lace weight held together for this color. So, if you just have one 50g skein of lace weight mohair for color D & F, you should have enough yarn to knit the small size border.
