Celtic Cable Shawl


Celtic Cable Shawl
This shawl is my modification based on the book The Knitter's Bible by Claire Crompton.
Using Papiput Shafira yarn, 100% merino wool ( yarn weight fingering ) from Papiput Shop, needle size US 4 - 3.5 mm. I made this shawl for my older sister. Completed within 2 months.

I would like to share the shawl pattern that modified by me. Actually it's just simple modification. Just make celtic cable at all over shawl. But sorry because it's about the copyright, then I could not write the Celtic cable pattern from the book The Knitter's Bible by Claire Crompton. Fortunately I found another pattern at Knitting Bee and it's free. You can find in here.

Row 1, 3, 5, 7 : (P6, K4, P4, K4, P4, K4) 6 times, P6.
