Hybrid Flamenco Shawl

"Hybrid Flamenco reminds me of the movements and colors of Flamenco dancers. Its winding shape is obtained by joining (that’s why “Hybrid”) two shawl constructions: the semicircular shape and the triangular one. The unusual construction of this shawl, together with its simple texture, makes it a versatile accessory easy and interesting to knit.
