Design
The stitch pattern in the Nora Sideways Shawl is a very easy pattern to follow, it is designed to be a very open stitch with it’s chain 3 spaces and with it’s 3dc’s together makes it look like blocks throughout the pattern. This is an absolute beginner stitch which makes this shawl a beginner friendly shawl pattern, this pattern only has a one line repeat so it is a very easy pattern to remember.
Yarn:
For this shawl pattern i used Cascade 220 which has an AMAZING amount of different shades which i absolutely love when choosing yarn for projects. It is made with 100% highland Peruvian wool and is perfect for shawl projects as it blocks so nicely as it really opens up the stitch definition and that is exactly what you want when blocking a shawl.
This yarn is classed as more of a high end yarn but when you are making a shawl that you want to last for years then you should go for a yarn that will stand the test of time and i really feel this yarn is perfect for that. You will need 880 yards for your shawl.

Yarn Substitutions:
You can easily substitute the yarn i used for a more of an affordable yarn or one that is machine washable. Just remember acrylic yarn doesn’t wet block as well as wool but you could always carefully steam block your shawl.

- Lion Brand Heartland Yarn
- Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice
- Cascade 220 Superwash – Superwash yarns will stretch more than other yarns
