Construction
The Flannel Crush Shawl features an allover mosaic colorwork pattern, with only one color used at a time. This triangle shawl is worked flat beginning at one corner and shaped with increases along one edge, resulting in an asymmetrical triangular shape. The shawl has built-in I-Cord edges and an I-Cord bind off.

recommend using a sport weight yarn with marling or color transitions to create an effect similar to handspun.
