A shawl may be the perfect knitting project. It's quick to stitch, the ideal-size for trying new techniques, and the end result is a versatile, practical accessory. Whether light and airy for a warm summer evening or cosy and cabled to protect against winter's chill, you can't go wrong with a shawl. For this collection of classic shawl patterns, we combed through the Interweave archives to carefully collect an array of popular styles. Knitters at all levels will find something to keep their needles busy exploring lace, cables, colour work, and more. Create a lacy layer with Ilme's Autumn Triangle. Experiment with colour on the Impasto Shalwette. Or whip up the simple yet engaging Madeleine shawl.

With patterns for a range of weights and warmth levels, this book will help you stay wrapped in stitches any time of year.
