This summer night shawl uses bands with two alternating color gradients to achieve a shimmering, alternating pattern. In particular, I love the visible spectrum and earth-tone combination.

Quicksilver Shawlette
The Quicksilver Shawlette features gorgeous neutrals and the interplay of stitch patterns, finished off with a beautiful and stricking edging. And it uses (less than) 2 balls of yarn - and takes only a few evenings to make! It is the perfect blend of feminine and graphic, ready for date night, school runs, and coffee with friends, jeans, leggings, dresses, fall, and winter! I used LB Collection Superwash Merino, and love the combination of Charcoal and Ivory. But this pattern would be amazing with other color combos too. Imagine a bright pink Dahlia instead of the Ivory, or go tone on tone with Eggplant and Wild Berry - so many possibilities! Tips on upsizing included in the pattern!
