Ranchland Shawl is a triangular-shaped shawl (right triangle) knitted flat from point to flare with blocks of colour in garter stitch separated by bands of moss slip stitch. While multiple colours are used in the shawl, only one colour is worked at a time. The garter stitch shows off the Romney Mohair and the CVM Mohair wools beautifully, the moss slip stitch gives a mix of colour to jog the eye, and the slim i-cord edging completes the look with a firm yet flexible tidy finish. Draped loosely around your shoulders or wrapped close around your neck, Ranchland Shawl will keep you toasty warm whenever you wear it.
