Step to It Shawl
Immerse yourself in the beauty of this stunning shawl, carefully crafted from a design inspired by my passion for stepped edges. This unique pattern brings together all of my favorite knitting elements: eye-catching striping, intricate lace, and, of course, those delightful stepped edges. Knit from the bottom up, this shawl uses two contrasting colors of your favorite fingering weight yarn, allowing you to showcase both yarns through alternating striped and lace sections. It's the perfect accessory for every occasion—dress it down with a pair of jeans for a casual look or elegantly drape it over a dress for added warmth on chilly evenings.

The sample showcased features YarnLoveYarn's Juliet in Color 1: Vespa, and Color 2: Lagoon, composed of 80% SW Merino and 20% Nylon for maximum comfort and durability. The delightful texture and color interplay will make this shawl a standout piece in your wardrobe.
