The shawl was created with a colder season in mind, a warm, snug, cosy and comfortable wrap to be worn over an anorak or a coat. Something not too big, something that is easy to put on and something which stays put once you wrap yourself in.

It is a simple yet classy shawl, slightly asymmetrical, with a pointed border which is first worked together with the body of the shawl and then, when desired length of the shawl is reached, attached to live stitches. There are two options - garter or stockinette - and in my opinion garter is better for solid colours and stockinette for variegated.

The pattern can be customized by using different yarns, needle sizes, or adding repeats to the pattern

Level: the shawl is easy to knit, perfect for beginners, the pattern is intuitive and easy to memorise.

Yarn – Any ranging from DK to chunky, it’s a pattern that goes best with heavyweight yarn but some of my testers did it in sport or fingering obtaining very nice shawls.
