This crescent shawl combines the simplest of stitches—seed stitch, garter stitch, and moss stitch—for a ruggedly casual wrap that’s delightfully simple to knit. Worked in Cheviot, this generous shawl is thick, lofty, and warm. Stone Wool Cheviot is a chunkyish yarn with a pronounced halo. For all its sturdiness, it has great loft and gentle drape. It’s perfect for a wrap like Pearmain, the spin structure and heathered colors add depth to the stitch textures.
