For those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Patterns may introduce slightly more complex techniques and patterns, such as shaping, increasing, decreasing or working multiple colors or easy lace patterns.

Patterns will help knitters gain confidence and experience with new techniques while still working within a manageable level of difficulty.
Description
Durango Shawl is a beautifully textured triangular-shaped shawl that features a beautiful cable pattern that follows the shape of the shawl and transitions smoothly into the wide ribbed border. The edge-to-edge cables are framed by an i-cord edging that’s knit as you go.
Designer Irina Anikeeva ‘wanted something soft, warm, and luxurious’ to knit her design in. After browsing the shelves of her local yarn store, she found Cumbria Fingering and chose it because of the soft blend of fibres, deep rich colors, and how it allows cables to be seen very vividly.

The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering (60% merino wool, 30% masham wool, 10% mohair, 300m (328yds) per 100 g hank) in Buttermere – 3 hanks.
Note: This shawl uses almost all 3 skeins. You may wish to consider purchasing an additional skein due to variations in individual work.
