Transform your knitting with this gorgeous reversible cable design – a shawl and a scarf, each with two stunning sides to wear. That’s 4 designs in 1!

The fully reversible design and intriguing cables makes this shawl and scarf a must-have in your wardrobe.

Zilt shawl has an asymmetrical shape and is worked flat from the right tip to the left edge. Zilt scarf has a rectangular shape and both pieces have a built-in I-cord edge.

The pattern is fully written out and charted until the first repeat of adding stockinette stitches to the shawl is done.
The cables look intricate and impressive, but don’t be intimidated – they’re easier to knit than they appear! Two designs, four looks, endless possibilities.

Zilt shawl & scarf is my contribution for Indie June by LoveCrafts.
