Che bello is worked flat (sideways) from tip to tip.
Stitches are increased along one edge (first every 2 rows, then every row) to create an asymmetric triangular shawl that is comfortable to wear and easy to style.

The built-in slip stitch edge, a beautiful 2-color slip stitch cable pattern and the unexpected pop of color make the Che bello shawl a fun and engaging knit.
