This shawl is all about direction, and even though it’s constantly changing direction, we must always be the ones to choose which one to take. I think it’s important to be the boss of your life, make all your own choices and decide all your own preferences. It’s easy to get caught up in whatever everyone else is doing, so we must remind ourselves not to follow automatically, but to remain true to who you are.
This asymmetrical shawl is knit side to side and features a cabled edge, lace, an applied i-cord selvedge edge and a knitted-on cable. This pattern is completely adaptable to any weight of yarn, and any yardage. The main chart can be repeated as many times as your yardage will allow for. I love the idea of a completely flexible design and this is definitely it!
