Embrace texture!
The Basketweaver Shawl by Stephen West is a top-down semi-circular shawl knit using knits and purls to form the stunning basketweave pattern, evolving from small basketweave motifs into larger blocks of gorgeous texture. The rich texture is so much fun to knit. This is a great beginner shawl project. We've put together a few kits using DK yarns for inspiration.
