Ouray is a crescent-shaped shawl that begins with simple garter stitch ribbing and opens up into a lace pattern consisting of yarnovers and simple one-by-one left and right twists. Halmstad Fingering by Viking Fiber Co. in “Fall at Mount Sneffels” colorway results in a gorgeous, autumn vibe, reminiscent of changing leaves set against Fall skies (and in this case, the mountains of Colorado). The resulting shawl is “light-as air”, warm and super soft – a great addition to your Fall wardrobe!
