Idabel Shawl

"Idabel Shawl uses my favorite crochet stitch, the Wattle Stitch! Three colors of DK/3 weight yarn are striped, one solid, one coordinating variegated color, and one contrasting solid, to make this easy, fun triangular shawl. Then the three ends are finished with tassels. The Wattle Stitch creates a slightly sawtooth edge between the stripes and along each edge of the shawl. Makes a lovely gift for a family member or good friend. Can be used as a prayer shawl."
