This is a unique and chic cover-up that people will notice! The braided portion of the shawl drapes elegantly over one shoulder and down across the chest for warmth. On the other shoulder is a geometric, stepped cap sleeve for a modern, asymmetrical look.

The pattern contains clear instructions and photos to guide you along the process - it’s easier than it looks but still has some interesting construction techniques which make it a fun pattern for knitters who want to go beyond scarves and hats.

SIZES: This shawl is about 10” tall and is knit for a custom fit around any size shoulders - just follow the instructions in the pattern!

Yarn: 140-200 yards super bulky weight yarn (approx 1.2 to 2 balls, depending on size of shawl)

Needles: US Size 13 (9 mm) needles (straight or circular)
