Gradients A Deux is a rectangular-shaped shawl consisting of simple lace paired with garter and stockinette stitch. The shawl is worked from the center out, in-the-round until the specified stitch count is achieved. Each side of the shawl is then worked separately. A series of increases and decreases along the right-side rows result in a zigzag pattern which accents the beautiful gradients’ color progressions and produces an unusual edging on the ends.
The brown/teal shawl is knit in Miss Babs Gradient in Yummy 2-ply Toes in colors Espresso (brown) and Sea Teal (teal). The charcoal/pink shawl is knit in colors Ursa Major (charcoal) and Canis Major (pink).
