This simple sideways shallow triangle shawl is designed to play nicely with highly variegated yarns. Tall stitches and a pretty bead stitch reminded me of strings of purple agate beads.
The shawl construction allows you to use up all the yarn you have if you weigh it and work to the half-way point. Our sample made the most of just 50g.
