The new Glitzy Pistachio shawl is definitely a delightful knit.
Knitted from the top down with a garter tab cast on from where it then grows along the sides into a triangular shaped shawl. The Ribbony flat cotton tape yarn offers a soft feel and a crisp look and a glitzy Lurex yarn is worked in to create the staggered eyelets in the middle and along the bottom garter stitch edge.
This shawl grows quickly and it is fairly easy to knit. Both very welcomed, I am sure.
The pattern is fully written. The blocked size measures " in overall length and " in middle height.
Yarn used: Two skeins of Ribbony, a flat cotton tape yarn in a worsted weight, 120 yards/100 grams a skein. A skein of Lurex, 148 yards/50 grams in a sport weight. Find the knit kits HERE.
