Mila Mini Shawl

**About** The Mila Mini Shawl is a fun mini-sized shawl with a combination of stitch patterns. The shawl is worked from tip to tip with basic increases and decreases. The pattern combines classic textures such as seed stitch and cables combined with lace. The instructions are only charted. Mila comes in two different versions, each with it’s own lace and size. Version 1 is a more substantial shawl that combines different patterns whilst version 2 is a great scrap buster and easier with only 1 lace pattern to memorize. **Skill** Difficulty 3/5. Knitting lace, cables and bobbles. Basic increases and decreases. **Gauge** 24 sts x 30 rows = 10 cm | 4 inch. Measured in pattern repeat before blocking.
