INFO
’Rocas’ combines graphic, textural, and color interest. Named after the mineral-inspired colorways of Wol met Verve shown in the sample, this shawl is punctuated with lines of lace dots and features a lively sequence of varying stitches in different sections.

For your palette, you can choose a subtle gradient look, or experiment with contrasting hues, or explore the subtle effect of a single color-
-the design offers a multitude of possibilities.

Some of the stitch patterns uses the k1b (knit 1 stitch in row below) technique to mimic brioche stitches. A photo tutorial is provided and there is also a video tutorial available here: https://www.grethamensen.com/tutorials
