The unique design of this shawl draws inspiration from the triangular spaces above arches known as spandrels, making it a perfect fit to wrap around your shoulders just as a spandrel fits seamlessly into an arch. The asymmetrical design is worked one color per row and incorporates a clever mosaic slip stitch pattern that adds stunning visual interest to your finished project. This shawl is not only beautiful but also comfortable to wear, making it an excellent addition to your wardrobe.
