Soft and drapey, Shenika is an elongated crescent shawl worked with geometric eyelet increase lines. Knit flat from the top down, Shenika quickly grows with increases and features sections that mix garter stitch and stockinette for textural interest. Two colors switch with stripes at the transition, and make this shawl an engaging knit that’s also easy to incorporate into your wardrobe with nearly endless color combinations possible. Valley Yarns Valley Superwash Sport is a smooth and soft extrafine Merino wool yarn that’s incredibly comfortable to work with and wear and is also machine-washable for easy care.
