TENDO by ITO

PDF

The Tendo Shawl is a nice project for advanced beginners to learn or practice short rows. For good knitters the pattern is still challenging enough as a project for travel and relaxed knitting. The color changes keep knitting interesting and due to the short rows the shawls knits up quickly towards the end.
