Pattern info
’Rocas’ combines graphic, textural, and color interest. Named after the mineral-inspired colorways of Wol met Verve shown in the sample, this shawl is punctuated with lines of lace dots and features a lively sequence of varying stitches in different sections.
For your palette, you can choose a subtle gradient look, or experiment with contrasting hues, or explore the subtle effect of a single color -the design offers a multitude of possibilities.
‘Rocas’ is worked flat from the top down, starting with a garter tab. Stitches are increased along the edges and along the center to create a triangular shawl. The pattern is fully written out with stitch counts throughout the entire shawl.
