Lone Skein Shawl

A one skein shawl is a great way to utilize one gorgeous and unique skein of variegated hand dye! This simple crescent shaped shawl can be made with just 1 skein of fingering yarn. It alternates bands of slipped sts, garter stitch and short rows. The crescent is asymmetrical (it’s longer towards one side) and its characteristic shape is achieved by working increases over the edges.
