This is a PDF knitting pattern.
Enjoy knitting easy garter stitch with soft colorful yarns in this top-down shawl. I held a strand of DK weight alpaca together with a strand of lace weight mohair for a luxuriously drapey fabric. Occasional yarn over rows form the crescent shawl shape while colorful stripes accentuate the curved lines.
For an extra dramatic touch, attach fringe into each yarn over hole at the border and proceed to joyously dance and prance as your fringe blows in the wind.
