The Perfectly pesto shawl is knitted with two very distinct yarns to create the richly textured look.
The shape is a rectangle, knitted from the bottom up starting with the pretty lace border, moving up with a relaxing stockinette middle and finally, the top band that gets done with a cool slip stitch pattern. It works up pretty quickly with a bigger needles size which also creates an open and airy look so it can be worn year round. Talk about versatility....
The pattern is fully written and includes a lace chart.
The slightly blocked shawl measures 57" in overall length and 14" in height.
