With this model, French designer Hélène Marcy continues to explore modular knitting, this time from a central square, to which the two wings of the shawl are attached successively, then the borders, all without any seam, but by changing the direction of the work several times. The garter stitch makes it possible to highlight the multi-coloured yarn, and to simply build the geometry of the shawl. You can of course adapt the choice of colours according to your tastes and your wardrobe.
