A little bit of glitz...
This shawl is certainly not over the top, in fact I would call it understated elegance but there is a bit of glitz in it. Easy to knit and to wear. Knitted top down, ever growing, a little bit of stranded knitting and an I-Cord bind off with two yarns held together to make a statement.
The crescent shape grows pretty quickly and as the name suggests, there is a bit of shimmer in the yarn. A brightly shining silvery metallic is included in the all new Glitzy skeins just created for this project in three color combinations.
The pattern is entirely written and has a how to video link for the I-Cord bind off.
The blocked size as shown: 70" along the bottom border and 14" in middle height.
