Designer’s description: When winter is at its coldest, scarves and shawls may need a bit less lace and more coverage. Distal is a reversible shawl that covers even your most distant limbs! Wrap Distal like a scarf or a cowl, over your head, around your neck, your face, or hanging down for ornamentation instead. The lofty, light texture of Létt-Lopi, an aran-weight single ply wool, creates a draped, lacy effect when knitted on larger needles. This asymmetrical shape is a quick knit, requiring only simple stockinette knitting, yarn overs, decreasing, and other basic skills. Use your crochet skills for an optional single crochet edging or add your own knit one as a finishing touch. Distal is flexible: adjust the yarn type and weight and gauge by choosing a needle two sizes larger than called for and create a design all your own.
