Hip Stripes Shawl by Joji Locatelli Yarn Kit
This shawl is a fusion of two of my most cherished patterns: Pure Joy and Hipster shawls. It has an irregular crescent shape, with striped wedges separated by delicate bands of cross-stitch lace
This shawl is worked from the top-down, using short rows to create wedges that give the shawl an off-centered look.
