Shades of blue and brown as soft as salt water taffy combined with the rhythmic, easy to memorize pattern makes this shawl almost as delicious to crochet as it is to wear. It is the perfect layer around your shoulders to take away the chill of a cool spring day. This stitch pattern looks as lovely in gauzy lace-weight mohair or crisp linen as it does in silk and wool.
