Beautiful large but delicate cables create a subtle, eye-catching texture on this wonderful cosy wrap. The bands of cables are framed by ribbing, and grow seamlessly in and out of the ribbed tips of the shawl.
It has been designed in collaboration with Malabrigo Yarn. We created the “Old Rose by Lisa Hannes” colourway especially for this collection and I have also designed the matching Old Rose Socks and Old Rose Hat pattern.
Old Rose Wrap is a long sideways-knit shawl. You start knitting at one tip (short edge), then work your way across to the opposite tip, creating an elongated tapered shape.
The pattern is written for fingering weight held together with a fluffy lace weight, but it is easily adjustable if you wish to use a different yarn, weight and/or make a smaller/ larger shawl according to the yardage you have available.
Fully written row-by-row as well as charted instructions are provided so you can choose which you prefer to work from.
