Solstice Shawl

Day 12 of 12 Days of Winter - Series 2

The Solstice Shawl is the perfect blend of easy knitting with an element to hold the knitter's interest. Garter stitch stripes are worked tip to tip, and a cabled edge is worked at the same time using the intarsia method. A few rows of contrasting color finishes things off nicely along the lower edge.
