Inspired by walking by lantern light, this shawl (and optional cowl) have zig zags like the points of leaping flames. Wrapped closely around, they are sure to keep you cozy in the fall evenings.
Construction
Both cowl and shawl are knit flat from the bottom edge to the top. The shawl is worked as two wide, shallow rectangles which are sewn together in an L-shape during finishing. The cowl is worked as a single rectangle that is also seamed during finishing.
