Discover your inner love of cables and lace while knitting the beautifully-textured Châle Aix shawl. Châle Aix is knit from the top down using basic cables forming an X-pattern throughout as well as a center panel that combines multiple-sized cables that are offset by columns of cabled eyelets. A cabled edge adds the perfect finishing touch.

Châle Aix is a terrific because it keeps your interest the entire time you’re knitting thanks to multiple cable sizes, various types of increases as well as a fun cabled edge. The pattern is easily memorized and doesn’t require too much counting. (Though I recommend lots of stitch markers!)

Since the lace-y portions are kept to a minimum, it also makes for a thicker fabric to keep you warmer on cool days and nights.

Even knit nights won’t distract you from making progress on this shawl!

Special thanks to Yarn it & Haberdashery for all their support with my designs and picture-taking!

Your project pages are appreciated - and they also let me enjoy it again vicariously through you! THANKS!

Don’t worry so much about gauge and dimensions – they are only a guide. If you have at least 400 yards for the small shawl, you will have enough unless your gauge is insanely loose. If you have a skein of only 385 yards, you will probably run out and need part of a second skein regardless of your gauge.

Always be sure to pick up a second skein if you’re not sure and if you’re able. Better to have to take it back and exchange it than to run out while binding off!**

FYI: Small sample shown, in Olive and Two Ewe Poe in Silver Linings was knit at a tighter gauge and used 383 yards of yarn
