Gatsby Shawl
This was originally designed for Ewe and Me Yarn Boutique, one of my local yarn shops here in Colorado Springs, for the annual Yarn Along the Rockies yarn crawl. The shawl is knit flat using traditional triangular shaping and the main body is worked in squishy garter stitch. Subtle chevron shaping is introduced, as well as easy-to-work bobble stitches. The piece is finished with a neat i-cord bind off and a “peaked” edge is achieved with intentional blocking.
