Warm Kilkenny Shawl

This warm pocket shawl will be both fun to knit and will keep you warm this fall. The pockets ensure that the shawl will stay on your shoulders. The ornate cable stitch as well as the little known border stitch both support variegated yarn, if you’ve got some in your stash that you’ve been wanting to use. If you love knitting cables, you’ll enjoy this pattern.

Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming a basic knowledge of cable knitting).

The cable focal stitch is both charted and written out line by line.

Any worsted weight yarn will work for this pattern.  No crochet hooks are needed if you don't want to the the optional edging.
