Mist Shawl

Mist Shawl is an asymmetrical shawl worked sideways from tip with regular side increases along its left edge, joining the two colourways with the intarsia method. Shawl features a textured panel in CC with a gently meandering leaf pattern, which is separated from the main body in MC by a narrow lace enclosed slipped stitch braid, also in MC.

For the finishing border, the stitches along the textured CC edge are picked up and a narrow lace eyelet row with a picot bind-off is worked along the edge and the live stitches of the shawl’s body.

The pattern includes full written instructions, and is also fully charted with an added chart sequence guide (you do not have to consult written instructions if you wish to work from charts only).

The pattern has been thoroughly tech edited and test knitted.
