RAGNA shawl, knitting pattern

This shawl is knit tip to tip, featuring a beautiful variation on my popular FREYA pattern: a faux cable pattern using only knit and purl stitches as well as simple increases and decreases, based on a broken rib pattern (BRP).
The sideways construction allows for knitting in any yarn weight and gauge. Other special features of the pattern include an integrated I-cord edge as well as clever cast-on technique.

The pattern is suitable for advanced beginners to medium leveled.
