Trug Shawl

Trug Shawl is an asymmetric triangular shawl knit in Dimond Laine Downy Fingering. Like the shallow basket it’s named after, this shawl features alternating bands of stockinette stitch and basket weave. The basket weave pattern is created with purl and knit stitches for a fun and engaging texture play.
