Drama Queen shawl
The name Drama Queen comes from one of the yarn colors used in this sample. The Ultimate yarn cakes in a bulky weight makes your shawl grow pretty quickly and it feels really good.
Knitted entirely sideways with an eyelet detail on the increasing and decreasing sides and a garter edge along the top edge for parts of the shawl. The simple, yet very effective cable design is a simple one, a cinch to create. If you have not tried cables just yet, this may be a great project to practice on.
Lots of styling suggestions are given in this fully written pattern. Charts are included as well.
The overall unblocked size is 93” in length and 20” at its highest.
