Stephen West’s Botanic Shawl uses one solid and one self-striping yarn together to create a generous shawl that’s easy to knit and mesmerizing to watch as the colors unfold. This project makes a great first shawl candidate, with simple stripes and slipped stitches that work to maximum effect (thanks, yarn!), its generous triangle starting at one corner and increasing gradually to a wide border.
