For the last couple of years, I’ve been attempting to be more eco-concious. It has actually been more challenging than I than I expected, due to the higher cost of organic produce, the ever-increasing use of plastic packaging materials, and the availability of grass-fed meats. I do put as much as possible in the recycle bin, and I use only glass containers in the microwave. I don’t enjoy cooking, though, which adds to the challenge of reducing my use of prepackaged foods. But I can knit! So here is my Preservation collection ~ three shawls designed as a tribute to my efforts to go green ~ Hayfield, Restated, and Sustain.

Restated
This shawl design was requested by a lovely fellow knitter. I have ‘restated’ my Brazil shawl as a sideways-knit asymmetrical shape, featuring the same reversible knit/purl texture. Use any yarn weight from sport to bulky, with a fairly close-knit gauge. Be sure to adjust your yarn requirements accordingly. It is most suitable for solid color or lightly heathered wool yarns that have good stitch definition.

Because it is completely reversible, this design has pattern to work on the wrong side rows. You can make the shawl any size, and work either from charts or the full written instructions.

Materials used for sample (weighs 173g):
Cascade 220
2 skeins Pesto
a row counter is very helpful for this pattern

Acknowledgements:
The shawl includes elements of a stitch pattern found in the Barbara Walker Treasuries.
