Bliss - Shawl (Pattern) - English version - PDF

Bliss is a large symmetric triangle shawl knitted holding one strand of fingering-type yarn together with one strand of Lace-type yarn. It is worked in one piece, back and forth from left to right. 
With this design, I meant to create a shawl that would be warm thanks to the yarns used, comfy due to its large size but, yet elegant thanks to the baroque-styled cable that runs all along the border. I also wanted it to be fun and easy to make. 
The model is accessible to curious beginners. Instructions are both on charts and written row by row.
 
Yarns:
This shawl is knitted holding 2 yarns together: 1 fingering-type yarn 
and 1 Lace-type yarn (mohair and silk) **or approximatively 770m / 842y of each yarn**. You can also knit it with only one strand of DK-weight yarn.
