Pattern: Melt by Andrea Mowry

Yarn: Javanese by Cattails Yarn

From Ravelry.com:

"My favorite ingredients for shawl knitting are color and texture! Melt combines garter stitch with playful stripes, two color brioche and even lace to keep you knitting “just one more row” all the way to the bind off. This shawl is knit sideways and the entirety of the shawl is encased in a polished I-cord edge."
