Samovar

An elegant, graceful shawl, knit in the round from the center out. The square design features cables and simple lace motifs, and can also be knit at a heavier gauge to create a beautiful throw or baby blanket.

As written, the square version takes 1 whole skein of Westerly Sea Sock (only a few yards remained at the end) in the main color and approximately half to 2/3 of a skein of the contrasting color. Exact yardage may vary; you may need a second skein of the main color, but one skein of the contrasting color will be more than sufficient.

Pattern is both charted and written.

Instructions for converting to a triangular shawl are also included.

Several knitters have found that starting by using Magic Loop (and skipping the dpns completely) makes the start of this shawl far easier.
