New Class – Alhambra Memories Shawl

Alhambra Memories Shawl by Stella Egidi

This gorgeous shawl is an exploration of technique and texture.
Worked from the center out beginning with a provisional cast-on, the stranded colorwork is a good lesson in the knit back technique, then some basic techniques of picking up stitches and garter paired with a beautiful brioche pattern. Pick up stitches from the provisional cast on and start out on your second half, same as the first.
All information for project materials, and to purchase the pattern, are available through this link:
