If you would like to knit your Alfie with a “Wheely cake” as shown or in another color, grab a kit at Yarnz2go**

The Alfie shawl is a super quick knit in the Wheely cake as shown. It’s colorful, feels very soft and is long enough to style it many ways. You’ll enjoy the easiest cable pattern ever in this project, which makes this a great first cable pattern to try too.

Your project is knitted sideways and starts off at the very tip and gets steadily increased towards the wider opposite end. The cables run along the “top edge” and repeat all across the wider side of shawl. This is a fun one to knit and wear~

The pattern is fully written, offers a cable stitch chart as well.

The dimensions of the unblocked shawl are 72” in overall length, it measures 30” at widest.
