The Frosty Wind Shawl is the perfect shawl to help combat the cold of the coming season. While the shawl is symmetrical, the colors are knit in an asymmetrical fashion to give the design a little added intrigue. You’ll find a faux cable center, detailed edges, and an easy garter stitch. The Frosty Wind Shawl was created by holding two variegated fingering skeins together for the two thirds of the shawl, then one solid skein held double for the color pop. You could also use DK yarn held single throughout. Let your creativity shine with the color choices!
