Selcouth
Selcouth:
rare, unusual, strange; wondrous, marvellous; unfamiliar*
Selcouth is a cozy worsted weight shawl that features a lovely texture, mosaic stitch and ends with an i-cord bind off. It would be perfect for cold winter days or to snuggle down in front of a cozy fire. I used 3 different colors but you could always use a different color for each mosaic section to truly make it your own one of a kind piece. Happy Knitting!
