Delft Stripe Shawl

The colors in this Delft Stripe Shawl look just like the white and blue enamel used in Delft pottery! The beautiful color combo is striking and is sure to get you tons of compliments.

From the blogger:
"This design really is all about the yarn! I love the way the hand dyed yarn creates areas of 'dots,' 'stripes,' and 'blobs.' This super simple boomerang shawl is worked to showcase the beauty of the yarn. It's a simple 2 row pattern using a kok to create a chain stitch along the long edge to mirror the chain edge created by a k2tog at the end of each right side row. If this is not important to you, you can easily change it by working row 2 as a K row."

Repeat rows 1 & 2 until yarn is almost gone or desired length, ending with row 1.
BO: I used a traditional knit stitch lifted bind off, BUT I slipped the first stitch instead of working it. This creates more of a curve. If you prefer a point, work the first stitch when binding off.
