The Starstruck Shawl showcases striking cables that flow from tip to edge and give this shawl a stunning and special look. To let the unusual and addictive cables take center stage, the rest of the shawl is kept simple with a reverse stockinette side and integrated i-cord edges. It’s elongated asymmetrical triangle shape, achieved through simple increases, make it easy to drape and wear.
