A striking new shawl in an intriguing shape~
The Sulka shawl is knitted from the top down. It first grows evenly on both sides, then it shifts and only one side extends moving forward. A spirited lace border accent finishes the shawl off again to just one side. There are many possible styling options to explore.
Knitted with two yarns, one is our special Lightly skeins, a hand wound combination of 7 great color and texture changes and one of our Taut yarns.
The pattern is fully written and also offers a lace chart. The blocked shawl measures 61” in overall length with a 19” in height.
