Zugin is a triangle-shaped shawl which is worked from the bottom to the top using an easy slip stitch cable pattern. Although the pattern calls for a light fingering yarn, it can be knitted in any yarn weight and matching needles.

The pattern has been tested by several ladies to make sure everything works as written. They used a variety of yarns. All of them showed beautiful results.
