Next Steps in Knitting - Fino Shadow Shawl

Fino Shadow Shawl is a wonderful project for the beginner knitter. I will walk you through reading a pattern while knitting this beautiful shawl. And the best part is this is a free pattern. It can be made like the model using 5 different colors for the stripes and a main color or it can be made with just 2 colors.
