This triangular shawl uses #34 from “Norah Gaughan’s Twisted Stitch Sourcebook” (written by Nora Gaughan).
Not only does it have a wide cable pattern that looks like wrapped candy (“MILKY” is the name of a Japanese long time favorite candy), but the way it is worked sideways from one end of to the
other is also unique.
Enjoy the rhythm of the stitch pattern which only requires knits and purls to create the wavy textured pattern.

◎ About this “English Tutorial Pattern”
This pattern was originally made for Japanese knitters to practice knitting with English written patterns. Therefore, it is bilingual in English and Japanese, so English speakers can use it by reading only the English part.
