Colour Box Shawl

The Colour Box Shawl was inspired by the shadows of colour seen in glaciers and reflected in snow. The shawl has a deep border of lace and then transitions into the box motif. The shawl is knit using 4 strands of laceweight throughout and the coloured squares are knit holding an additional strand of laceweight (5 strands).

This is a great piece to use up leftover bits of laceweight yarn.
