Picabeau

Picabeau is a crescent shaped small shawl, with asymmetric construction that first increases and then decreases in a gently curved shape. The reversible bias shape is highlighted by regular rows of YOs that swoop across the shawl and create visual movement. One luscious skein is all that is required for this versatile and wearable accessory; instructions are given to make the shawl using any amount of yardage. Please note that blocking is important to encourage the crescent shape, as the two ends do not exactly mirror each other due to the asymmetric construction.
