As the sun slips behind the hills, it spills a palette of brilliant color into the sky. The last light of day is the inspiration for this colorful shawl. Using a combination of relaxing garter stitch and basic intarsia, this shawl is an uncomplicated, modern introduction to color-play.

Last Light is a triangle shawl knit seamlessly from the top down. The shawl is knit in garter stitch using basic intarsia to create the V-shaped motifs at the center. The design features a simple rolled edge and a clean i-cord bind off. If you are new to intarsia, this shawl is a great place to try the technique for the first time. The pattern includes straight forward instructions and an intarsia photo tutorial. Plus, this is the perfect project for stash busting your mini skeins!
