With its textured stripes and plain panels, this simple yet tasteful shawl pairs well with flirty dresses for a summer party. You can also use it to add casual style and some colour to a jeans and t-shirt combo. The modern curved boomerang shape is so easy to wear. Drape the widest part in front for a bandana effect, or hang it behind to get more coverage on your back. It also works well as a cosy accessory under a winter coat. Worked in three colours of DK-weight yarn, this pattern can be easily adapted to any yarn - try it with fingering/4-ply for a lighter piece. Use any combination of colours - just one for a simple look, or up to 10 for a rainbow effect. This pattern is very simple to follow and to knit. The shawl is suitable for an adventurous beginner, or it’s a pleasant, relaxing project for the more advanced knitter.
