Tapir

This shawl starts with few stitches, is knitted diagonally and grows until a certain point. The second color is attached and using easy intarsia technique, (given in photo and video tutorial) and short row shaping the middle part will be created. By mirroring this, shawl ends with few stitches. An I-cord edge, knitted with a special technique which is described in pattern creates a nice and elastic edge.
