A long deep triangle scarf will be an excellent addition to your fall and winter wardrobe, or a great gift for someone special. The base triangle is knit sideways, with a mix of garter and stockinette stitches, and the border introduces a simple lace. A hand-dyed yarn will play out a beautiful color variation throughout the shawl.
