Sepal
Sepal
Asymmetric shawl knitting pattern
Sharply botanical, this asymmetric shawl features a twisted stitch pattern reminiscent of the slender, twining sepals of wild spray roses. If you love neutrals in your wardrobe, having a bright, textural shawl is a great way to play with color and visual interest without a huge committment.
The Sepal shawl is designed in an asymmetrical triangle shape bordered on one side by a dramatic rib that’s deepest at the peak. On the other side, a slipped I-cord edge keeps things tidy. The allover twisted-stitch pattern creates a rugged and structural texture that pops even in super soft superwash yarns.
