Samba Shawl

Discover the joy of knitting with our Samba Shawl pattern, inspired by the captivating movement of Samba dancers. These dancers often wear kerchiefs folded on the bias around their hips, creating a beautiful silhouette that hugs the body during dance. This sideways triangular shawl, aptly named "Samba," not only captures that essence but is also designed for comfort and style. The pattern features a lovely garter stitch fabric knitted in eye-catching two-row stripes, with a slipped edge selvage that adds a polished, professional finish. This makes the Samba Shawl an ideal project for those looking to expand their skills and learn new techniques.
