Inna Shawl
Inna shawl, super comfortable, big and easy to knit.
Knitted with two strands held together throughout in two complimentary colors which get blended/marled in the middle section and highlighted by two ridges to stand out a bit more with the extra accent on the middle.
The yarn cakes used for this sample shawl, make the marling easy, without adding extra bulk.
One side of the triangular shawl is knitted is in Garter stitch and increases to the middle and the other is done in Stockinette stitch and decreases to the end.
This is a great project for social knitting or watching TV, as it is an easy and relaxing knit.
The shawl when knitted in the yarn as shown here, measures approximately 86” in total length and 34.5” deep in middle.
The pattern is written.
