Huacachina is an oasis in the middle of one of the dryest deserts in the world. The small Peruvian lagoon is surrounded by bars and clubs, and has increasingly become a launch point for adventurous sandboarders!
This fun three-color shawl takes a traditional half-pi shape and adds in short row elements to stretch the shawl in an wavy an undulating fashion, not unlike the many mirages you see when visiting Huacachina.
Choose any two funky colored fingering weight skeins, and one skein of your favorite mohair and get knitting! If mohair isn't your style, just grab another fingering weight skein of your choice!
