Coral Reefs

Coral Reefs is a two-colour asymmetrical triangular shawl. It is knit on a bias and shaped with decreases along one side and increases along the other side at different rates to reduce stitch count as you progress. The knitting starts at the wide side of the shawl and finishes at the opposite end with a few remaining stitches.

In this shawl both colours are used in the selvage stitches that were specifically invented for the two-colour shawls offered in the Island Knit Design pattern store. The garter stitch pattern sections alternate with the contrast colour eyelet rows sections for added visual interest and to keep the knitting fun. This shawl, of course, can be easily turned into a single colour project simplifying the task, if a knitter prefer.

Can be knit in cotton or wool. The sample is knit in sport weight wool and silk yarns in size Small.

For size Large, the Cascade Heritage Solids wool yarn and smaller size needles would be a good choice.
