Precipice
This beautifully crafted shawl pattern is designed to begin at a single point and is expertly worked sideways on the bias, making it a captivating project for knitters of all levels. The innovative technique involves increases along the top edge, which contributes to the graceful drape of the shawl. A distinctive stepped edge is formed by placing some stitches on hold while you continue to work other stitches, ensuring a unique and eye-catching design. Afterward, new stitches are picked up along the fabric's edge in two strategic locations, culminating in a stunning zig-zag border made from a contrasting color that adds depth and flair to the piece.
