Pharaoh
by Schibot Garne - knitting pattern for a shawl, in German and English.
This huge and cuddly shawl may not be a quick knit, but it will certainly become one of your favourite creations. Pharaoh consists of different knitting stitch patterns like garter stitch, moss stitch, stockinette stitch and an easy lace pattern. Knitted with three colours, you'll have a real eye-catcher at the end.
The instructions are written in great detail and explain every single row so that even less experienced knitters can tackle this project.
