New Pattern: Rise and Fall


Rise and Fall
By Brittany Wilson 
Rise and Fall is created using an undulating chevron stitch pattern and a gradient in both color and shape, which makes the design both interesting to knit and to look at.
Skills just beyond the basics are needed. You will be working increases, decreases, and carrying your yarn along one edge of your work to create this chevron bias triangle shawl. The pattern is both written and charted.
