Flirting with the Wind
von Schibot Garne - knitting pattern for a shawl, in German and English.
ABOUT THIS PATTERN:
Flirting with the Wind is an asymmetrical shawl, which is knitted with three different colours that work well with each other.
In order for the colours to merge harmoniously, the entire fabric is knitted holding two threads together and is thus knitted relatively quickly.
This technique makes the pattern suitable for a variety of sock yarns and colourways.
The pattern is very simple: A lot of garter stitch and a simple lace pattern. Perfect for beginners!
