Designer Notes:
Inspired by winter trees silhouetted against cold skies, this perfect evening shawl plays with luxurious contrasts made in simple stripes.
Gorgeous drape and wonderful warmth for a winter evening. The sheer mohair/silk stripes give a hint of what’s hiding underneath, so you don’t feel that your party dress has vanished under a big wrap.
The irregular widths of the stripes keep it modern and interesting to knit. This is a perfect TV or knit-night project for a more experienced knitter.
I remember being frustrated by the lack of gorgeous knits for novices; all the glamorous stuff seemed beyond my abilities. I believe knitting doesn’t have to be difficult to be beautiful.
Needles:
US 7 & 8
