ITO’s soft lace weight mohair yarn, Sensai, forms the body of the shawl, while ITO’s fingering weight yarn, Rakuda, forms the striking bulky garter stripes. The Navajo knitting in the garter stripes adds a touch of challenge to an otherwise relaxing knit — but this is approachable enough. The photo tutorial will guide you through the technique step-by-step.
For your convenience the garter stripes start and end as fringes, eliminating the need to weave in their tails and creating a playful, rustic touch. Buy the pattern here.
