Aliter is a two-color, crescent shawl with a body of alternating sections of striped garter stitch and stockinette stitch and an edging of alternating reverse stockinette and stockinette stitch. Worked in a worsted weight yarn with short rows and a perpendicularly attached edging, Aliter will let you flirt with color, texture and shaping.
