Beatrice Perron Dahlen created a cabled masterpiece with Whimbrel. Bird-like cables take flight across the main body of this crescent-shaped shawl, transitioning into the plaited cable border, topped off with simple garter stitch. Knitted in wool/silk Tern creates a graceful, sweeping shawl to wrap around and within.
