Sweet Manuka is a triangle shaped DK weight shawl that is an exploration of texture- using garter, lace and brioche stitches and small rows of honeycomb cables.
Â
This shawl was designed to be practical and wearable. The garter stitch provides extra warmth around your neck, while the lace body is breathable and the brioche border adds a touch of luxury.
Â
This shawl is a fun and engaging knit- the bulk of the knitting is garter stitch and an easy lace stitch, with little bite-sized amounts of honeycomb cables and brioche. In DK weight, it flies right by.
Â
If you are new to either cables or brioche, this shawl is an accessible way to explore new techniques!
