The detailed pattern includes two methods for executing both a left twist and a right twist, as well as instructions for an optional crocheted edging to elevate your finished piece. To make it even more user-friendly, the shawl pattern is provided in both charted format and written out line by line.

Crafted specifically for beginners and experienced knitters alike, the shawl utilizes a worsted weight yarn paired with size #7 (U.S.) needles (4.5mm), making it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire. The recommended skill level is Intermediate, as a solid understanding of twisting stitches is assumed.

This stunning shawl has been expertly pattern tested by Deb Terrio. She used the exquisite Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted Weight Yarn in the captivating colorway, Fjord. However, feel free to experiment with any worsted weight yarn that yields a gauge of 4.5 stitches per inch, allowing you to tailor the project to your own preferences.

If you choose not to add the crocheted edging, no crochet hooks are necessary, simplifying the project for those focusing solely on knitting. Embrace the joy of knitting and create a unique and fashionable warm pocket shawl that will surely become a cherished accessory in your wardrobe. Whether you’re a novice looking to advance your skills or an experienced knitter seeking a new project, this pattern is the perfect fit for your next crafting adventure.
