This mid-sized shawl combines lace and garter stitch stripes and adds a fun vine-like cable border to keep things interesting. Knit from one skein of light fingering yarn, it’s the perfect size and weight for chilly fall or spring days.

Liantëa is Quenya (one of Tolkein’s Elvish languages) for vine-like, for the vining cable running up the side of this shawl.
