Ombré Waves

Introducing a stunning crescent-shaped shawl featuring a mesmerizing color-shifting ombré edge that will elevate your knitting collection. This exquisite shawl is knit using two strands of lace-weight yarn held together, resulting in a beautiful and airy texture that is perfect for any season. The use of double strands enables a seamless transition between colors in the edging, allowing you to choose a single hue that shifts from light to dark, or experiment with neighboring colors for a vibrant rainbow effect.

This beautifully designed shawl is knitted from the top down, starting with a garter tab that sets the perfect foundation. The pattern includes both written and charted instructions, making it accessible for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills. As you work through the instructions, you'll find that the shawl increases on every right side row, ensuring a graceful shape and elegant drape. Throughout the project, you'll hold two strands of yarn together, creating a rich texture that is both cozy and visually striking.
