Masgot Shawl knitting pattern and kit
About the pattern:
The shawl begins at the center and is worked outwards to border. It is worked primarily in alternating 2-row stripes of Garter stitch. Five inserts of a third color are shaped with short rows and give the shawl a slightly asymmetrical shape. The border is also worked in the third contrasting color.
