Khyber Pass

Silk Road Journey

Through deserts dry and mountains high past snow and ice and deep blue skies

Khyber Pass is a striking top down crescent shaped shawl, featuring lace sections alternating with a garter and eyelet pattern. The garter ridges add warmth and substance for your trip over the high mountains, and the lace — inspired by snowcapped summits and frost — adds an element of lightness. All wrong side rows are rest rows, making for a relaxing yet satisfying knit.
