The shawl was originally designed for the “Knit with Friends” festival 2023 in Porto, Portugal. We made our version when we attended to the show, and A Chic Blend turned out to be an awesome choice The Porto Shawlette is a small two-color shawl, knit in Brioche & Garter stitch with a scalloped edge, although A Chic Blend made it quite larger than the original version.
It can be knitted in any of our fingering bases, but please remember that although the yardage is the same, the bounce provided by A Stormy Blend and A Heavenly Blend is much higher than the Chic's one.
