Olive Twist II is a lacy, top-down triangular shawl featuring twisted loops for a filigreed effect. It works up quickly in any yarn weight from fingering to worsted, and the size is easily customized by working more or fewer repeat rows.
Originally published in 2014 as Olive Twist, Olive Twist II has been revised and updated to improve the shawl’s shape and eliminate the need for a top edging.
Olive Twist II will look lovely in a solid, tonal, gradient, or lightly speckled yarn. Choose a fiber that will block well.

The 3-page pattern includes charts, illustrations, and a link to a short videotutorial.
