This shawl is all about texture, and even though it’s full of holes, we must always wear our armor. I think it’s important to live life not being hurt and offended by every little thing, to be strong and safe, but leave a few holes for love, compassion and empathy.
This asymmetrical shawl is knit side to side and features a cabled edge, eyelets in stockinette, applied i-cord selvedge edges and an i-cord bind off. This pattern is completely adaptable to any weight of yarn, and any yardage. The main chart can be repeated as many times as your yardage will allow for. I love the idea of a completely flexible design and this is definitely it!

2 skeins of fingering weight yarn or 3 skeins of DK/Worsted. This pattern can be knit with any weight and amount of yarn at any gauge, however yarn usage will vary.
