Description
With inclusivity in mind, Twilight Trails comes in three sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. The pattern instructions cater to various preferences, including written directions, charted diagrams, and a helpful schematic.
Crafted in a heart-shaped design, the shawl showcases a mesmerizing cable motif that meanders through the body, ultimately culminating in an elegant lace motif. The top-down construction ensures a seamless knitting process, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the pattern.
For my sample, I’ve chosen a self-striping shawl yarn for the main body (cabled portion) of the shawl. However, if a self-striping yarn isn’t at your fingertips, fear not! You can conjure the same mesmerizing effect using leftover yarn or mini skeins, expertly joined together with the magical Russian Join to create your captivating striping illusion.
