Come explore the wold of cables! This elaborate shawl comes to life with a stitches that practically sing as they sift and weave across the fabric. Creating a movement that ebbs and flows, like a melody warming the soul, Vibrato takes you on a cabled adventure inspired by my deep appreciation and love for music on a musical. Created with DK-weight yarn, the texture of soothing garter and vibrant cables take off with this plush and bouncy base from Lolodidit. Garter stitch makes up a large portion of the body but, before you get bored, the cable pops in to help keep you engaged with your knitting. The DK-weight yarn keeps this shawl cruising and you’ll find it off your needles and ready to drape your shoulders in no time.
