Windswept
Sometime a shawl is all you need on a windy day….
Windswept combines all the elements needed for a perfect knitting experience. A little garter, some simple lace and a bit of cables. Worked sideways from end to end, on the bias, the gradual increases on one side only, work to produce its asymmetrical shape. The shawl can be worn in many ways, wide side on back, wide side on front or, simply as a scarf.
