Always Better Together is a project that will keep you
engaged from start to finish! It features an eye-catching interplay of slipstitch colourwork and simple lace. Knit in sections of single and two-colour patterns, it is never boring. Lots of colour, lots of texture, and lots of variety to hold your interest.

Always Better Together is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit sideways from one tip to the opposite edge. Trendy and stylish, it is a joy to knit and easy to wear!
