BAO BAO Shawl by Isabell Kraemer mYak Tibetan Cloud Yarn Kit
BAO BAO (เบา เบา is a Thai expression that is used for something gentle, soft and light)
is a symmetrical triangular shawl.
The shawl is worked back and forth from the top down and features the beautiful and fun stitch pattern I used for the Heimathafen pullover.
Using the dip stitch stripe pattern “all over” creates this super cute retro look.
Starting with a garter tab cast on, stitches are increased every RS row at both edges and at the center of the shawl. Color changes are worked every 4 rows. The cute and easy dip stitch pattern could be worked with many colors for a playful result (and to help stash busting ;) or with 3 colors (as shown) for a more sophisticated and sportive look.
