Karise

Karise is knitted using just one skein of beautiful hand-dyed sock yarn. The stocking stitch section showcases the pretty yarn whilst the easy lace section flows organically from one shape to another.

This shawl is designed to be modular. That means each chart can be repeated as many times as you would like before starting the next chart. If you want to make a bigger shawl, simply repeat the charts more times. Please note you will need more yarn if you do so.
