Skarn

This pattern is published in *52 Weeks of Shawls* by Laine Publishing. Cold weather, wild nature and rustic yarn inspired Evgeniya when she was designing the *Skarn* shawl. She wanted to create a perfect accessory for cold days. The triangular shawl is knitted on the bias from one corner to the opposite edge. It alternates between sections of seeded rib stitch and sections with purled stitch parallelograms. The parallelogram pattern reminded Evgeniya of a geological phenomenon called “skarn” that are coarse-grained metamorphic rocks. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Wingspan: 81” / 206 cm.
