This pattern is published in 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing.
The version available in my own Ravelry store slightly differs from the one you’ll find in the book:

  • different layout
  • full written instructions (not available in the book)
  • more extensive charts

I wanted to create an opulent triangular shawl with generous dimensions. Kupka combines luscious cables with lace, colourwork and texture. It is knitted from the bottom up, decreasing at the sides and along the central line to achieve the triangular shape. It’s also a rewarding knitting experience, with its intricate cables followed by more meditative sections. The two colours provide enough contrast and a warm wintery feel.
