Mary Shelley’s Shawl combines two different yarn textures, with a strand of each yarn held together throughout. Worked back and forth from the bottom up, the focal point of this dramatic shawl is the large garter-stitch cable in the center. On each side, the repeating pattern of multiple increases and decreases creates highly textural peaks and valleys.
