Annecy Alpine CableLace Shawl

Discover the art of knitting with this stunning true Alpine cabled shawl pattern, which offers a unique alternative to traditional Aran cabling. This beautiful shawl features intricate knits primarily worked through the back loop, creating a striking design that is cabled on both sides—though not reversible. The captivating combination of Alpine cables and delicate lace adds a unique twist, resulting in an exquisite and eye-catching shawl that is sure to impress.

This enchanting shawl was expertly crafted using Malabrigo's Rios yarn, known for its luxurious softness and vibrant colorways. Perfectly suited for intermediate to intermediate + knitters, this pattern assumes you have a solid knowledge of basic knitting techniques such as knitting and purling, along with a strong understanding of cabling.

The detailed pattern is provided in both written format and as easy-to-read charts, catering to all learning styles. Additionally, we offer instructions for an optional crocheted border, should you wish to add an extra touch of elegance to your finished piece.

For this design, the shawl was knit using two circular needles, though straight needles can be utilized just as effectively. Any light worsted weight yarn will work beautifully for this pattern, and if you prefer a simpler approach, you can easily skip the crochet edging and still achieve a wonderful result.
