Hot coffee, crisp air, and a wrap with pockets you can count on. An innovative design yet surprisingly simple to knit. Usher in winter with Mistral, knit in Shibui's newest yarn, Nest.
Mistral is an easy-to-knit voluminous wrap with dramatically curved top and bottom edges, worked with two strands of Nest held together. Depending on whether the top or bottom edge is worn toward the neck, the wrap will have a larger or smaller shawl collar. Afterthought pockets add a cozy detail.
