A generous garter stitch triangle with flowing cotton colour and a soft, light drape. The finished shawl measures approximately 160 cm across and 75 cm deep. Knitted in Sesia Iride 4ply organic cotton.
Construction
Worked flat from the centre top, the shawl grows through regular increases. Alternate two rows from each of the two cakes, using one strand at a time. Begin both cakes at the same colour to keep the gradient aligned.

Before You Start with Iride
The white leader yarn at the ends of an Iride cake is waste yarn. For a centre pull, remove the white leader before starting. If working from the outside, stop before the final white leader section and discard it. Do not knit or crochet the white leader into your project.
