Zucchero Filato is Italian for “cotton candy”. Just like cotton candy, this triangular shawl is very light, soft, and fluffy. The shawl is worked flat from the bottom up with simple eyelets and cables. Two versions of the symmetrical triangular shape are included: deep and shallow. Both can be knitted quickly and are suitable for all knitters. This pattern is written instructions only.

The pattern has been test knitted. A big thank you to my testers: louiseli, sasa3805, and fifi_la_frugale.
