The Mesa Shawl, is a basic, beginner-friendly crochet shawl pattern that is workedfrom the top down. The edges on the sides of the shawl is inspired by the carvedlandscape of the Mesa Grande Ruins in Mesa, Arizona. The subtle texture of theshawl, combined with its simple construction make this my favorite project tomake when I absolutely have to knit or crochet, yet do not want to focus so intentlyon an intricate pattern. As an accessory, the Mesa Shawl can be worn around theshoulders to keep warm on a breezy spring or summer night, or bundled aroundthe neck in fall or winter.
