Cutting Edge

The name "Cutting Edge" for this stunning shawl originates from its striking resemblance to a circular saw's blade, with its unique edging artfully imitating the sharp teeth of the blade. However, don’t let the intimidating name fool you—this shawl is incredibly cozy and perfect for showcasing beautifully spun boutique yarns.

This delightful semi-circular shawl—a bit of a tongue twister after a few sips—employs Elizabeth Zimmermann’s innovative theory of pi shawl shaping. This method allows for a gradual and harmonious increase in size, giving knitters a chance to create a project that expands gracefully. The shawl features a simple yet captivating eyelet pattern that promotes meditative knitting, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. The charm of the Cutting Edge shawl is completed with a beautifully finished garter stitch knitted-on edging, providing the crafter with an engaging and rewarding way to complete this lovely accessory.

The snuggliness factor of this shawl is sure to make it an instant favorite among knitters and wearers. Whether draped elegantly over your shoulders, layered gently across your lap, or even used to keep little ones warm while they sleep, the Cutting Edge shawl is versatile and comforting.
