This simple and fun shawl is knit flat using traditional triangular shaping. The body is worked with half twisted ribbing on the right side and simple 1x1 ribbing on the wrong side. The piece is finished with a stretchy bind-off (that aids in aggressive blocking) and optional tassels or fringe that can be added at the end. The finished shawl is incredibly versatile, making the perfect addition for chilly spring days and cool summer nights, or a wonderful staple for the fall and winter.
