I don’t know about you, but I LOVE a big, squishy shawl. It’s one of my favorite things - to be wrapped up in an oversized, woolly, hand knit shawl. You’ll love knitting this up as much as you will love wearing it.

Hollow Vine Shawl starts at the bottom edge with a simple 8 st/16 row repeat of the vine lace pattern. With decreases on every right side row, the rows get smaller and smaller the more you knit, helping you feel like it’s knitting up in no time. It also provides lots of mindless knitting, as the majority of the shawl is worked in garter stitch - with only a 33 st border that requires a little more attention.

Offered in both written and charted directions, you are able to work in your preferred method. This pattern has been tested and professionally tech edited.

Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash (100% Superwash Wool, 220yds per 100g ball).
