High Altitude

High Altitude Shawl is a stunning and intricate knit project designed to highlight the beauty of color contrast and the unique mesh stitch pattern. This lovely shawl is worked in two harmonious colors, allowing the stitch details to truly pop. To create the shawl’s body, you begin with a provisional cast-on, which cleverly becomes the bottom edge of the right wing of the shawl. Knitting on the bias adds both elegance and complexity, as you seamlessly reduce the stitch count through a combination of simultaneous decreases and increases at each edge of your knitted fabric. The project culminates at the tip of the shawl’s left wing, creating a beautiful and dramatic shape. The finishing touch comes with an alluring mesh border, accented with a delicate picot bind-off edge for an added flair. Featuring all-over garter stitch and the delightful ridged ribbon stitch, this shawl is both an easy and relaxing knit, making it perfect for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills. The incorporation of colorwork and modular knitting elements transforms this project into a fun and engaging experience, turning your knitting time into a creative escape.
