YARN SUGGESTIONS
A classic fingering weight yarn with fabulous drape & shine for one of your yarns. Feel free to use 2 different bases of yarn to add interest and texture.

This pattern is published in 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing.

The large rectangular Stairway wrap is filled with fun techniques. The shawl is knitted sideways in two-color brioche and garter stitch, and the stairway pattern is created by switching between the two textures. The border is knit as a folded hem on the short sides and double-knit selvedge on the long sides. The two-colour design is reversible, with the lighter colour dominating the front and the darker colour dominating the back.
