As light as the breeze from a butterfly’s wing, this sock yarn shawlette combines subtle texture with a small pop of color. Stick to matching tones or use this opportunity to explore bold and unexpected color combinations. Knit from the bottom up, you will see each row shrink as the wingspan of the shawl is drawn in towards the center.
Tobay is a bottom up shawl with patterning on both sides. The first half is knit in a wave lace interspersed with slipped stitch lines worked in a coordinating color. Decreases occur at the begin and end of each row resulting in two stitches decreased per row. Section two of the shawl is knit in stockinette using a single color.
