Lady Bird

This beautiful shawl begins at one tip and is expertly worked side-to-side, creating a unique and eye-catching design. Utilizing German short-row wedges along the top edge, the knitting direction shifts from perfectly horizontal at the beginning to increasingly angled shapes, giving the shawl a gorgeous silhouette. The addition of an I-cord edging and I-cord bind-off provides a polished and seamless finish to the cozy garter stitch fabric, making this piece as functional as it is stylish.
