Thanks for checking out the Frontier Shawl!
Available in two sizes, this two-color shawl makes use of knitting and purling through the back loops to create compact ribs that run the length of the garment. Intarsia knitting allows you to use two colors in one row, and a distinct border is used to separate not only the colors but also the two textures. Finally, that border then transitions into an i-cord bind-off to add one final detail to the shawl. Although it may be slow to knit up, the final product is amazingly stretchy, squishy, and oh-so-satisfying.
