Once Upon A Dream Knitting Pattern For Sale

This is the reveal of the MKAL that I had on 4 October - 22 November 2018 called "Once Upon A Dream." I had this design in mind a long time ago and always went to the back burner because I am too lazy to experimenting using 2 colors of yarns. In the sample shown below, I used 2 gradient yarns, purple to maroon 1 skein and red to orange 1 skein. I really love the effect of these combination. Because of the gradient color, the rose buds have different color, start from purple, red, maroon and ended with orange color.

Once Upon A Dream is an asymmetric triangle shaping on a bias, thus creating a long crescent shaped shawl. The shawls generous length is perfect for many styling options. This shawl is using 2 pretty yarns that looks together. It can be solid, speckled or gradient yarn. Just to make it fun, I also include tons of beads with 2 colors (if beads are not for you, then you can omit them all together). Pattern includes charts and written directions.
