Short Description: Irida Shawl by The Yarniad. Irida (Greek for rainbow) is a simply constructed triangular shawl knit from the top down with a lacey chevron pattern and garter stitch bands that show off the color changes of an ombré yarn. The pattern is intuitive, perfect for those new to shawl knitting, and creates a lovely, wearable piece that puts your yarn on center stage. No one skein of ombré is the same, so this shawl is designed to be customizable. Specific instructions for a small and large size have been given, with notes on altering the pattern to suit your needs. And if you don’t have an ombré yarn on hand, the shawl would also be quite pretty made with different skeins in different colors, as long as they are the same weight. Two sizes are included in the pattern and information for each is given below as such: Small [Large].
