Candy Apple Knit Shawl Pattern

For a knit wrap pattern that's just as sweet to knit as it is to wear, use this Candy Apple Knit Shawl Pattern. The dazzling red of this piece is sure to add a touch of excitement to your outfit. The combination of lace and cables is always a breathtaking one, but the ribbing at the end of this particular shawl gives it a unique look that most free shawl knitting patterns don't achieve. While the red is stunning, try knitting this shawl in black or white for a more versatile piece of your wardrobe.

Beautiful shawl to have for the holidays knit up in red. The pattern looks easy enough if you have some practice working with charts. My only concern is that the bulky yarn and the length might make it a bit on the heavy side. On the other hand, it will be warm in the winter and cozy in air conditioning.
