This is a pattern for a knit shawl that features two stitches that come to us from Japan. Both the border and focal stitch contain a mock cable that is popular in Japanese knitting. Both stitches are interesting and fun to knit. Together, they make a beautiful shawl. The stitches, although they are Japanese, are easily learned by American knitters, especially those who love knitting lace. (Note: There are instructions contained within the pattern for adjusting and/or omitting the border stitch.) There are also instructions contained within the pattern for an optional crocheted edging. Further, all the Japanese symbols have been “translated” into symbols that are more familiar to American and European knitters.

Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming a basic knowledge of lace knitting).

The two stitches are both charted and written out line by line.

The shawl was expertly test knitted Joy Macpherson who can contacted at: Joy.Macpherson@ gmail.com.
