Discover the beauty of the Shawl, a stunning top-down, one-piece knit designed for both novice and experienced knitters. This symmetrical shawl is not only elegant but also versatile, perfect for any occasion. To create the shawl body, hold Mohair Glitter yarn together with one strand of green yarn, giving your project a gorgeous shimmer and a touch of color. For the border, simply use the Mohair Glitter yarn on its own to highlight the intricate details of your design. The pattern features a total of 12 decorative cables on the border, which add a lovely texture and visual interest to the shawl. If you wish to make your shawl longer, feel free to adjust the length to suit your personal preference.

The finished shawl measures approximately 54 inches across the top edge and 21 inches from top to bottom, making it a generous accessory that can be styled in various ways. A unique aspect of this pattern is that gauge is unimportant, allowing you to choose your favorite yarn without worry. Experiment with various yarns and textures to create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your style.
