Stella is a simple yet stunning shawl with lots of possibilities for colour play.
You work this crescent shaped shawl by alternating blocks of garter stitch and eyelet lace. Stella is knitted from the top down with two colours of fingering weight yarn.
The garter stitch showcases the subtleties of hand dyed yarn while the lace sections keep this large wrap airy and lightweight.

This shawl is worked flat but I recommend using an 80-100 cm / 32-40 inch circular needle to accommodate the growing number of stitches.
