Mariela shawl

The cozy Mariela shawl is knitted from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast on. It then grows along the sides as well as right down the middle as well. I tried the cable stitch without cable needle and came to enjoy it. Talking about the cable stitch, before the middle eyelets the cables look different than after the eyelet middle. I happen to like variations in my knits. Why not do something a bit different, right? It’s an enjoyable knit~
