The Indira shawl is an elegant, asymmetrical shawl featuring a unique double-braided cables, simple all-over lace, and luxurious fisherman’s ribbing. The shawl is worked primarily on the bias, beginning with a few stitches and gradually increased to the shawl's full depth before the edging is worked. Short row shaping is used to achieve the edging's tapered experience. The resulting length offers the perfect amount of warmth and styling opportunities. It is designed by Vanessa Smith.
Our model is in Jorstad Creek Cornwall in Caribou and Neighborhood Fiber Company Loft in Charles Centre, marled together.
