Distal
When winter reaches its coldest, keeping warm becomes a priority, and that's where the Distal reversible shawl comes in. This versatile shawl is the perfect solution for those chilly days, providing ample coverage while allowing you to express your personal style. Distal is designed to cover even your most distant limbs, making it an ideal winter accessory. You can easily wrap Distal like a stylish scarf or a cozy cowl—wear it over your head, drape it around your neck, or use it to shield your face from icy winds. Alternatively, it can hang down elegantly for a touch of ornamentation. The fluffy, airy texture of Létt-Lopi, a premium aran-weight single-ply wool, results in a beautifully draped, lacy effect when knitted on larger needles, ensuring both comfort and style. This asymmetrical shawl is a quick and rewarding knit, requiring only essential techniques including stockinette knitting, yarn overs, and basic decreasing—perfect for knitters of all skill levels. If you're a crocheter too, consider adding an optional single crochet edging for a polished finish or customize it further with your own knit edging.
The Distal shawl is inherently flexible: easily adjust the yarn type and weight, and choose a needle two sizes larger than recommended to create a unique design that reflects your creativity. With approximately 327 yards (300 meters) of aran weight yarn and size 10 (6mm) needles, this stunning shawl measures approximately 53" long by 25" deep, making it a generous piece to keep you warm and stylish throughout the cold winter months. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Distal shawl is sure to become a cherished staple in your winter wardrobe.
