An Elegant Twist is a contemporary shawl that adds a little bit of loveliness to drape around your shoulders.
Worked top-down this crescent-shaped shawl starts with a classic squishy garter stitch body then transitioning into a luscious and beautifully textured cable edge.
Knit it in a subtle solid and let the texture speak for itself, or choose two colors to create a striking accessory.
A super simple 4-stitch cable pattern is great for beginners and included are instructions for easy mini-cables that can be knit without a cable needle.
