Aftersome by Samantha Guerin Designs | Aftersome is an asymmetrical triangular shawl, knit from side to side with four colors of DK weight yarn. If you'd like to use some DK and some fingering weight skeins from your stash, this is the perfect project to combine them! The body of the shawl features stockinette, eyelets and a dip stitch that really pops in those color transitions. The border is all about that dip stitch on repeat and showing off the fantastic colors that you've chosen. A two color I-cord bind off is the perfect finale for this dramatic shawl.
