The Kristine Shawl is worked flat from side to side and features textured patterns combined with cables. The shawl begins with several stitches and gradually increases to the widest point, then decreases symmetrically. It incorporates an I-cord selvedge along both edges for a neat, polished finish. The pattern is structured in clearly defined sections with charted instructions, offering options for using one or two colors. After knitting, the shawl is blocked to its final shape, enhancing the stitch definition and drape.
