A BEAUTIFUL pattern of leaves flows across this asymmetric shawl, which has been designed for us by Karie Westermann. It’s worked on the diagonal, with an all-over pattern comprising lace, twisted stitches and cluster stitches. This is complemented by an applied looped edge along one side. The shawl feels soft, warm and draping, courtesy of the fingering-weight Vivacious yarn from Fyberspates. This is a hand-dyed pure merino wool which offers excellent stitch definition.

NOTES This shawl is worked back and forth in rows. Circular needles have been recommended as the length of cable will accommodate the number of stitches.
