Entrapped

Introducing the **Entrapped Shawl**—a stunning hybrid crescent shawl designed to beautifully hug the shoulders and back. This elegant half-circle shawl combines the luxurious softness of a mohair and silk blend, creating a translucent background that's both delicate and airy. The shawl is artfully accented with a contrasting color using a plied silk and wool blend, enhancing its visual appeal. Skillfully crafted with elongated stitches that are slipped to form a delicate mesh fabric, the Entrapped Shawl makes for a standout piece in any knitwear collection.

This pattern comes with unique **Alternative Short-Row Section** instructions, allowing you to customize the depth of your shawl, resulting in a design that's approximately 1" less deep at the center back. Perfect for knitters looking to refine their techniques and add a personal touch to their work!
