Pattern: Shawl *Visione*

A beautiful shawl pattern by Birgit Freyer.

With this pattern, you can knit a sophisticated, but very easy to knit, shawl, worked in the LeftOver style.
This combination of a colourful background and a solid-coloured pattern can be learned quickly.

The shawl *Visione* is worked from the middle of the neckline and has a graphical zigzag pattern formed by slipped stitches.

For the background colour (colour 2), you can also use pieces of colourful leftover sockyarn and felt them together.
The solid colour of the pattern should be chosen to accomplish a strong contrast to enhance the effect of the pattern.

The pattern is charted.

The pattern (a pdf file) contains 4 pages with a photo of the finished shawl, a schematic drawing, charts and a detail photo in the table of symbols.
