Frosty Pines is worked flat (sideways), increasing along one edge to create an asymmetrical triangle. Stitches are increased in pattern and then onward into the 1x1 ribbing. The combination of lace patterns, garter stitch stripes and the sportive ribbing give this shawl a sophisticated, yet casual look.
Isabell suggests a DK weight yarn but when I look at the needle size I think you could do the shawl in a worsted weight yarn.

Cooma is a light and airy cowl that provides lots of warmth. Holding fingering and mohair together is all the rage right now (and for good reason, it’s stunning!) So you can swatch with a purpose! Use the cowl as a canvas for playing with color combinations, test out how each color interacts and practice holding the strands together while creating something of practical beauty!
The Cooma cowl is fast and fun to knit and also a bit addictive. It would make a great gift for all your knit-worthy friends and family!
