Arada features horizontal ribbons of multicolour ‘woven’ linen stitch alternate with ribbed rectangular blocks in three solid colours, in this right-triangle shaped shawl. I-cord edges and strong vertical rib lines on the reverse side make a lively visual contrast that knits up fairly quickly in easy-to-memorize stitches. Designed by Catherine Salter Bayar.
