Not all shawl knitting patterns have to be boring. Although this shawl looks simple enough, don’t underestimate it. It will be a fantastic challenge for you.

The beginning is knitted using a quite unique cabled cast on technique and cable work with the leaf detail in the middle will keep you hooked right to the end. The upper part isn’t ordinarily flat, but rather have two “straps” that give you the option to wear the shawl multiple ways. Cable edgings will give a beautiful drape.

This pattern contains written instructions only.

Shawl measures:

• Width from widest part and length of the straps - 87 cm / 34 inches
• Length from tip to starting point of straps - 66 cm / 26 inches
