*This stunning pattern was specifically designed for the 2nd shipment of [A Verb for Keeping Warm][1]’s Pro-Verbial Club 2010-11.

Pattern Overview:
Introducing High Road, a beautifully crafted triangle shawl that embodies elegance and versatility, worked with a luxurious blend of merino and silk yarn. This exquisite shawl grows organically from its center path, offering a delightful knitting experience. With its unique construction and simple, classic stitch patterns, High Road achieves the perfect balance between a meditative knitting process and an interesting, wearable finished product. Whether you’re dressing up for an evening out or adding a touch of warmth to your everyday look, this shawl serves as the ideal accessory.

Construction Details:
High Road is thoughtfully constructed in three distinct sections, each knitted in a different direction for added depth and visual interest. The process begins with the center garter ridge section, which is expertly crafted by casting on at the upper corner and working side to side. This section features the graceful turning of the bottom corner using short rows, ultimately culminating in a cast-off at the opposite upper corner. Next, the upper stockinette section is seamlessly picked up from the inner edges of the center garter ridge section, worked upwards with strategic decreases along the edges and center to maintain its elegant silhouette. Finally, the bottom edging is skillfully picked up from the outer edge of the center garter ridge section, creating a polished finish that enhances the overall design.

Embrace your creativity and knit yourself a luxurious accessory with the High Road shawl pattern. Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern invites you to delve into a world of texture and form, making it a standout addition to any knitwear collection. Start your knitting journey and create a stunning piece that you’ll cherish for years to come!
