The drape of the new Intrigue shawl is just incredible~
There are many wonderful stitch patterns to explore including a bauble that isn't a bauble (?), a cool ruching stitch, an understated lace pattern, a slipped stitch pattern and relaxing garter stitches and you even get to create tassels using a photo tutorial.
Knitted with three lovely yarns, this shawl works up sideways and from there you grow it a bit more by picking up stitches along the sides, adding accent stripes.
The pattern is fully written and also offers charts and a photo tutorial to create the tassels.
The size of this shawl is great too, as it allows you many ways to style it. The blocked size is 61" in length and 18" in middle height. The tassels are 5" long each.
