Friendship KAL Dos Tierras

This edition of the malabrigo KAL features an amazing shawl designed by Jill from Knit Sisu.

This beautiful pattern takes 3 Dos Tierras skeins and according to the designer, It’s easy to fall into the movement of the stitches in this project as it is very meditative and structured. The garter sections fly by and the lace sections keep knitters engaged without being too reliant on the written pattern.

To knit this shawl you would need to know how to:

  • Knit

  • Purl

  • Working flat

  • Slip stitches

  • Increase stitches

  • Decrease stitches
