Sail Shawl

Sail Shawl // An Asymmetrical Shawl

With a simple, modern construction, this gently asymmetrical shawl evokes the nautical lifestyle so prevalent here in the Pacific Northwest.  The entire shawl is worked with knit stitches only, making for an easy, relaxing project.  Pick your favourite colours and watch the colour blocks come to life.
