Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns.

A wide center panel shows off a beautiful and intriguing cable pattern. Two columns of simple honeycomb stitch sandwich the main cable, with long bands of slipped stitches surrounding it. The shawl is worked back and forth on long circular needles, from the narrowest edge to the widest, where the cable design reveals its full beauty. A simple rib stitch finishes off the edge beautifully.
