The Knitter

Summer Citrus Shawl

-

JACOB SEIFERT’S lightweigh­t shawl uses two shades of Noro’s Sonata yarn - a blend of cotton, viscose, silk and polyamide in matt, semi-solid tones. The shawl has contrastin­g bands of garter stitch and left- and right-leaning eyelets, and incorporat­es short rows to shape and create stripes.
