Pattern Notes 
The shawl is worked sideways from tip 
to ribbed edge, and you’ll be working 
the garter stitch body at the same time 
as the cabled border, making this an 
engaging knit all the way through! 
 
Given the quantity of cables in this 
shawl, I chose to knit them without a 
  cable needle. Here’s a tutorial in case 
  you’d like to do the same: 
Denna is an asymmetrical triangular shawl with clean   
lines and rich texture. The body of the shawl features  https://ysolda.com/blogs/journal/cablin
graphic cables that stand out against a garter stitch  g-without-a-cable-needle 
background, and it is knit in a cozy DK weight yarn that 
will keep you warm all winter long.
