Rosaspina Shawl - a knitting pattern

Wrap yourself in this wonderfully woolly and warm hug of a shawl. It’s got it all: lovely texture, fun bobbles and cute tassels. What a treat!

The shawl begins at the top center and is worked outwards to the mock cable border. The main body of the shawl is worked in three stitch patterns: Garter, Ribbing and Rhombuses. After completing the shawl’s main body, you will work a simple mock border. Finally, add optional tassels for even more texture and fun!
