Denim and dew
A striking mostly rectangular shawl with a bit of a twist.
Knitted sideways with two lace borders, the middle section features two cabled stripes flanked by relaxing garter stitches and two striped portions lending more color contrast.
Looking great from both sides, the back or the front side. The middle back is slightly elongated, so when turned upside down you can style your shawl with a bit of a collar. Basically all in all there are a lot of styling options. I hope you will enjoy your “Denim and dew” shawl!
The pattern gives two size options, the smaller one is featured in the photos. Measurements unblocked: 54”/60” in length and 16.5”/16.5” at its widest, with suggestions to make the shawl even bigger in Parts 2/5/7.
Written pattern with cable chart for the lace and a how to video link included on how to catch the contrasting color yarn when cabling, using two colors.
