The Gardener Shawl
Introducing our beautifully designed triangle shawl, expertly crafted to be worked sideways for a unique knitting experience. This shawl features two exquisite textures: a delicate lace pattern that begins with increases and later transitions into a straight panel, and an addictive cable pattern that not only enhances your knitting skills but also shapes the shawl into a perfect triangle. Both patterns are expertly worked simultaneously using the intarsia technique, resulting in a stunningly intricate design. To finish off this masterpiece, the shawl is edged with charming nupps, adding the final touch of elegance. For your convenience, we have included video tutorial links on both intarsia and nupps within the pattern, ensuring that even beginners can follow along with ease.
