The Camryn shawl is knitted in two contrasting colors. The unusual shape when worn one way, hugs your body as it curves around and another way it looks completely different. You’ll see in the photos that this shawl can create “many moods”….
Two triangular pieces with eyelet edges start this project, which then get joined with a simple crochet stitch in the middle. The second color grows the sides of the bigger triangle with stockinette stitches and a pretty diamond shaped lace pattern along with contrasting garter rows. The contrasting color also gets added to the overall top part and a stretchy bind off, done with both colors held together frames the entire shawl nicely.
