Traverse Shawl

£6
(Excluding VAT)

Beginning with alternating sections of garter stitch and textured rib stitch, before ending with a contrasting zigzag panel; the Traverse Shawl is a relaxing project consisting mainly of knit and purl stitches. This shawl is knit from the top down in DK weight yarn, making it a surprisingly quick to knit project, which results in a cosy shawl perfect for cooler days.
