Description
This Celtic diamond shawl is a modern version of the traditional Aran cable motif. This crochet shawl uses post-stitches to generate ribbed diamonds, and cable stitches to create textured diamonds. These two types of diamonds are interleaved or tiled across the shawl’s surface making an intricate and elegant balance of visual texture.

The pattern includes a written pattern, a stitch diagram, and video tutorials of the cable stitches (links below).
