“There’s something pleasing about geometric shapes. On this half-circle shawl, you add cables in between cables at regular intervals - starting with five cables, and ending with 65,” says Kristin Blom. “It uses the Invisible Stranding technique to make cables that radiate like sunbeams from the centre top. Invisible Stranding is a colourwork technique to avoid ugly puckers when you have long floats.
In this case, this also means that the texture of the shawl becomes light and airy. The pattern is easy to remember once you have mastered the Invisible Stranding technique.”
