Salmiak
Salmiak features large lozenge-shaped cable motifs that transition from and into a matching ribbing.
The graphic cable patches embedded in ribbing create the classic yet modern look of this eye-catching, cosy triangular shawl.
Worked sideways from one tip to the opposite edge makes this shawl fun to knit and easy to wear.
It was designed for worsted-aran weight yarn to highlight the big cables. If you prefer, you could easily use a different yarn weight and/or yardage since the pattern is fully adjustable.
This pattern is an addictive knit with a beautiful result. The finished shawl will add a warm & cosy item to your favourite winter wardrobe staple.
Fully written row-by-row as well as charted instructions are provided so you can choose which you prefer to work from.
I hope you enjoy the pattern!
