Crescent Shawl : Two Colors : DK Weight : Knit & Purl Textures : Mosaic

Inspiration

The Unlikely Pair is a squishy and spacious wide crescent shawl that incorporates easy-to-read textures and an
elegant mosaic pattern. Designed to be timeless over trendy, this shawl can be a staple in your cold weather
accessories for years to come.

The Unlikely Pair is perfect for keeping the autumn chill away and the in-between-seasons office and restaurant
air conditioning from freezing you into miserable, unfocused submission.

Because it’s designed for DK weight yarn, it knits up swiftly. Don’t let the thickness of the yarn fool you, though;
it’s not a bulky shawl! It drapes beautifully, and the ends curl softly into tendrils.

Wear it traditionally over your shoulders, folded in half with the ends pulled through, swirled around your neck
like a fashionable scarf, or the creative way you come up with, you trendsetter, you.
