Hot Shawl
Last year, I was able to go to Knit City, and I bought some dreamy yarn from Sweet Fiber! It's 70% SW merino, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon. So soft and squishy.
I decided to knit a shawl with it, because who wouldn't want to be wrapped in gorgeous cashmere blend yarn?
I chose Hot Shawl pattern by Holli Yeoh, this pattern is simple but with beautiful lace pattern on the edge which makes it interesting too.

Yarn: Cashmerino 20 in Worn Denim by Sweet Fiber
I love how it turned out! I actually had to skip a couple of rows at the end because I didn't have enough yarn which made the scallop shapes on the edge less pointy, but I like it that way too!
The yarn is a dreamy blend of 70% cashmere, 20% merino, and 10% nylon.
As the name of the colourway suggests (Worn Denim), the colour is faded tonal soft blue. I think this colour would go with a lot of my clothes!
I knit the large size as I wanted to be fairly big so that it would wrap around my shoulder nicely. As I mentioned above, I had to omit a few rows at the end because I was running out of the yarn.
The pattern was so fun to knit! I particularly like how clean it looks at the and of every row!
I think cashmere blends tend to expand more after blocking and this shawl was no exception. It got quite bit bigger which I liked.
Love this pattern and the yarn combo! I think I'll be knitting more shawls this year... There're just so many beautiful shawl patterns and fingering weight yarn (the weight I like to use for shawls) out there!
Have you tried yarn from Sweet Fiber or Hot Shawl pattern? If you have, what did you think? I love them both!
