Notes from the Designer: Cestino is a shawl with a lovely basketweave pattern. Worked from the corner out, instead of the center, this shawl is made with simple stitches and increases. The stitch edges are slipped, rather than worked in garter stitch to make a more fluid look. With several repeated rows, this pattern is perfect for knitters who want to make a colorful, but easy shawl. * Click [here][7] to watch a tutorial on how to get started making this shawl. * The sample shown used approximately 1100 yds/1006 m total: Color A: 180 yds/164.5 m, Color B: 180 yds/164.5 m, Color C: 200 yds/183 m, Color D: 180 yds/164.5 m, Color E: 180 yds/164.5 m, and Color F: 180 yds/164.5 m. * Slipped stitches count as a stitch. *Designed by Elisabeth Carr* You'll receive a digital file only (instantly downloadable as a PDF) and won't be shipped anything.
