I had this kooky idea for another asymmetrical pattern and so I gave it a go. It didn’t turn out quite the way I thought it was going to, but I really like it. Due to the increases being different on each side, the center line is “Slightly Off” – just like me! 🙂 I hope you enjoy this shawl. It was fun to make and is fun to wear. I like centering the center line down my back, draping the shorter side over my shoulder, and then wrapping the longer side around my neck and securing with a shawl pin.

FAQs
Sure! The pattern repeats rows 3 and 4 until the border, which happens after a repeat of row 3. It’s written out longer to show the color pattern. So to change the size, repeat 3 and 4 more or less times.
