Chayka
The Chayka shawl is reminiscent of a seagull’s wing and is perfect for using up that special, luxurious skein. Knit from one corner to the opposite edge, it features show-stopper lace paired with plain stockinette. Easily adaptable to any yarn weight or yardage – just knit until a few grams of yarn are left, then finish with a few simple garter rows!
