Khyber Pass is a striking top down crescent shaped shawl with lace sections that alternate with a garter and eyelet pattern.
The garter ridges add warmth and substance for your trip over the high mountains and the lace, inspired by snowcapped summits and frost, adds an element of lightness.
All wrong side rows are rest rows, making for a relaxing yet satisfying knit.
Silk Road
Through deserts dry
and mountains high,
past snow and ice
and deep blue skies,
We travel on,
starting at dawn,
on paths that take us further west,
‘cross passes high, ere we may rest.
