Craft: Knitting
Chalcito is a small shawl that we can use as a bandana or also as a scarf, it is knitted in
Marina (lace weight) in garter stitch, in two parts. Decreases are used to give it shape, lace and garter stitch stripes to give it rhythm and a thin i-cord to give it a nice and neat finish.
You can knit it in stripes, like the sample, or you can go a more minimal way and knit it in a single color.
