Description:
Crossing Twigs Shawl was inspired by trees in the winter. The cable motif of the border with lots of twists and turns is reminiscent of the look of the leafless trees when you can see many single branches and twigs and how they cross each other.
The shawl is a triangular shawl with slightly crescent upper corners, it is worked from the neckline down with the main color for the body and in contrast color for the border. The border connects to the live stitches of the body as it is worked.
