A simple stitch repeat and a bit of shaping give this shawl a lot of texture and a 3-D look. You will obtain a beautiful stitch definition if you opt for a solid or a lightly variegated yarn. Alternating yarn color with each repeat would be a great way to customize this pattern. Comfortable and squishy due to the nature of the stitches used in this pattern, you will find yourself often reaching for this timeless accessory.

The shawl is reversible and both borders add interest. This pattern will require just a little bit of focus on the right side but you will soon enjoy its rhythm. Working on the wrong side is almost mindless. With every set of repeat rows, the size will keep increasing in both height and width.

Depending on your gauge and the yarn you will choose, you can customize the size of this shawl to your preference. Torsa is a personal shortcut for the French word: torsade, which means cable.
