The Illud Shawl is an easy triangle shawl worked from the bottom up in garter stitch. The pattern is worked the same every row so it quickly becomes rhythmic and a great pick up & put down project. Worked in a dreamy 2-ply cashmere, this is a luxury knit that you will love for decades to come (or would make a great gift if you’re willing to part with it!). Stitches are picked up around the entire perimeter of the shawl to work the sweet picot bind off.
