This shawl is knit tip to tip, featuring a beautifully textured pattern that looks intricate but is super beginner-friendly – made entirely from knit and purl stitches. The sideway-construction allows to be knitted in any yarn weight and gauge. Other special features of the pattern include the integrated I-cord edge and clever cast-on and bind-off techniques, all of which are explained in an easy-to-follow video tutorial.
Sounds or looks familiar? This is the beginner-friendly sibling of the original ENNA Shawl – mixed with elements from the TEXbandana. These two favorites come together to form a new, fresh design!
