Inspired by Russian shawls, this pattern has a geometric center portion worked in garter stitch with an edging added after the center is finished. It can be knit as either the Square Shawl (55 inches on a side), shown at the left, or the Rectangular Stole (28 by 66 inches). For this shawl, we have spun a special lace weight yarn using 25% kid mohair/75% wool that has a very soft handle. Either the Square or the Rectangular Siberian Winter Shawl requires 5 skeins of our lace weight yarn. These yarns can be found at: Blackberry
