Hold one strand of fingering weight like West Wool Bicycle together with one strand of lace weight mohair silk like West Wool Glowhair. This triangular shawl is knitted sideways with increases worked every other row toward the center point. Then, decreases shape the other half of the shawl toward the final wingtip. Cables along the edge create a beautiful scalloped detail framing a broken rib texture. This generously sized shawl uses about 300g of fingering weight yarn + matching yardage in a coordinating strand of lace weight mohair silk. Instructions include tips to help you customize the size if you want a smaller or larger shawl.
