Shawl *Elusia*

A beautiful shawl pattern by Birgit Freyer.

With this pattern, you can knit a sophisticated, but very easy to knit, shawl, worked in the LeftOver style. This combination of a colourful background and a solid-coloured pattern can be learned quickly. The shawl *Elusia* is worked from the middle of the neckline and has a graphical pattern of diagonal stripes.

The rainbow-coloured and black shawl on the pictures was worked in Schoppel Zauberball Kunterbunt for colour 2, and plain black sockyarn. The berry-coloured and black shawl features Lang Yarns Jawoll Magic Dégradé as colour 2.

But you can also use pieces of colourful leftover sockyarn and felt them together to use them as colour 2 (background colour). The colour of the pattern should be chosen to accomplish a strong contrast to enhance the effect of the pattern.

The pattern is charted.
