This shawl is definitely eye pleasing, isn’t it?
It shows off beautiful repeating cables which interlock all along this rectangular shawl. They are framed by wonderful textures in the two seed stitch borders and a garter stitch edge on each side. The balance of the patterns is just lovely and the weight of this shawl, as the yarn used here has some heft to it, feels like a great big hug~

The measurements unblocked as shown are 46” in length and 18” in middle height. The knit kit has enough yarn to add a bit more length. If you prefer a longer shawl, more yarn will be needed.

The pattern is completely written and also offers a chart for the cables for your knitting pleasure.
