Romantika combines fingering (4ply) and laceweight (2ply) yarn to create a shawl that is as light and cosy, as it is warm and generously sized. It features lots of relaxing striped garter stitch interspersed with contrast panels of textured dots that will keep you engaged while knitting, and is floaty and pretty to wear.

This pattern contains full written instructions with stitch counts, charts, and a tick-sheet for tracking your progress. Please note that as with all my patterns, the written instructions include the charted sections so no chart reading is required if it is not your thing.
