Cuera

£5.50

Cuera is a crescent-shaped shawl which features a simple slipped-stitch pattern. It is named after a small mountain range in Asturias, Spain, where I was born.

This crescent-shaped shawl is knitted in one piece, flat. It features soothing Garter Stitch paired with slipped-stitch sections worked in four different colours. It starts at the centre of the top edge with a Garter Tab Cast-On. Increases are worked on each row. A neat I-Cord Bind-Off is worked in a contrasting colour for a beautiful finish.

The pattern includes links to video tutorials for all the techniques you would need to complete the project.
