Pool Shawl, English

The Pool Shawl got its name from the subtle rib pattern that I learned at a pool in Dubai.

It is a long narrow shawl that can be knit in exactly the size you prefer. In the pattern I give some measurements for various amounts of DK weight yarn, but you can basically knit this shawl in any amount of any type of yarn – the perfect stash-buster!

I even used a tiny ball of left-over cashmere that was too good to go to waste. With just 15 grams of sport weight cashmere, I was able to make a tiny shawl that I use as a shawl cuff!
