Bisou Shawl
ABOUT
A cozy, soft shawl. Whether you use one lace weight yarn with one fingering weight yarn, or two fingering weight yarns, this pattern will result in a beautiful and wearable shawl. Designed to show off beautiful and unique yarn, the contrast of garter stitch beside stockinette stitch highlights the textures and colours at play. Consisting mainly of knit and purl stitches with some simple twists, the repeats are easy to memorise, and satisfying to knit. The I-Cord edge is worked as you go, so there is no finishing required - you can wear it fresh off the needles!
