Worked from the top down, this two skein shawl is very simple to knit and the pattern is very easy to memorize as you go along. The pleated ruffle is easy and makes such a romantic and flirtatious edging. The colors are inspired by my favorite variety of hibisucs flower that grows wild in my neighborhood. This stunner couldn't be simpler.
