Tricolore
This dramatic Tricolore shawl is worked sideways from tip to tip in three sections. Starting with just a few stitches, you’ll work a series of two color stripes, eyelet rows and lace as you increase up to the full width of the shawl.
The center features repeats of lace, stripes and slipped stitches resting atop garter stitch. After working across the center section, you’ll begin the gentle descent down to the bind off by working a decreasing version of that first, striped section. Required Skills Basic lace patterning
