PATTERN INFO

‘Dutch Sky’ is knitted in a heathered blue-grayish color which reminded me instantly of our beautiful and impressive Dutch skies. The textured pattern represents raindrops and the cable pattern the cumulous clouds or as we call them ‘stapelwolken’.

The shawl is wearable on both sides. The cable pattern is reversible and the textured pattern is equally pretty on both sides. Dutch Sky has an asymmetrical shape with a built-in I-cord edge and is worked flat from the right tip to the left edge. The pattern is fully written with stitch count and is also charted.
