Restated

For the last couple of years, I’ve been attempting to be more eco-concious. It has actually been more challenging than I than I expected, due to the higher cost of organic produce, the ever-increasing use of plastic packaging materials, and the availability of grass-fed meats.  Here is my Preservation collection ~ three shawls designed as a tribute to my efforts to go green ~ Hayfield, Restated, and Sustain.

Restated

For this design, I have ‘restated’ my Brazil shawl as a sideways-knit asymmetrical shape, featuring the same reversible knit/purl texture. Use any yarn weight from sport to bulky, with a fairly close-knit gauge. Be sure to adjust your yarn requirements accordingly. It is most suitable for solid color or lightly heathered wool yarns that have good stitch definition. The sample weight 173g.

Because it is completely reversible, this design has pattern to work on the wrong side rows. You can make the shawl any size, and work either from charts or the full written instructions.
