Short Description: You’ll want to grab every spare moment to knit “just a couple more rows” when you cast on Zida. The thrill of textured stitches and the magic of dancing colours will stay with you even as you drape your finished shawl around your neck and feel her mysterious power. Zida is a dramatic, asymmetric triangle with strong lines. Her beautiful columns of colour are created with simple slipped stitches and her lace pattern is rhythmic & easy to memorise. The stitches that create the deep, undulating welts are simple and fun to work. Zida is an entertaining knit, ideal for experienced knitters and confident beginners.
