Pattern info

'Keep Me' showcases elegant cables, creating a rhythmic, classic pattern that is perfect for either solid or tonally dyed yarns. The soothing simplicity of the garter stitch is the perfect complement to the intricate cables of this shawl.

The Leizu Fingering yarn is a blend of superwash merino and silk with a great drape that has a soft and luxurious feeling.

'Keep Me' has an asymmetrical but nearly triangular shape with a built-in edge and is worked flat from the right tip to the left edge. The pattern is fully written out with stitch counts and includes a chart for the cable repeats.
