Knitting: Shawl / Wrap

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The challenge was to design an elegant shawl using only one hank of Soliloquy (600 metres) without complicated lace. This shawlette is the result! Light yet warm, long yet not too big, the Crescent Shawlette is a pleasure to knit and wear. The main body is knit using mostly garter stitch with some delicate lace and the border lightens the look ...

The shawl in the picture shows different colours for the main body and the edge, but this design is equally effective when knitted in one shade throughout and p...
