Stepstone Shawl
Introducing the Stepstone Shawl, an exquisite asymmetrical garter stitch shawl designed in three beautiful colors, featuring a delightful slip stitch and garter stripe edging. This unique pattern stitch, originally crafted for the Stepstone Cowl, has been thoughtfully adapted to be worked flat and on the bias, ensuring minimal purling for your comfort. If you love knitting shawls but prefer to avoid extensive purling, the Stepstone Shawl is the perfect choice for you.
