The interplay between two hues is wonderfully rustic, yet perfectly highlights the textural stitches. Fisherman’s Rib and Garter stitch provide a fascinating fabric to play with colour and light with a squishy accessory to wear as the result.
This shawl is worked sideways from point to long edge, increasing gradually on one side. We’ve worked it up in a DK-weight yarn, so be sure to try our Superwash DK or Mohair Silk DK for a soft, dreamy yarn option.
This shawl is knit sideways and the 4-page pattern PDF features both written and charted stitch patterns.
