Maximize the beauty of your hand-dyed yarn with this elegant, wide, shallow shawl pattern. Designed for knitters of all levels, the shawl is crafted from the edge up using innovative short rows, allowing you to easily add additional rows for a deeper design, if desired. This flexibility enables you to customize the shawl to fit your personal style and preferences.

NOTE: The shawl’s unique edging is worked at the beginning from end to end. One side features a sophisticated column of yarnovers, while the other showcases a more open and airy lace edge. This thoughtful design detail adds depth and texture, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your finished piece.

The original pattern suggested picking up the body from the straight yarnover section; however, the accompanying photo illustrates the technique of picking up from the other side. We recommend that you choose between these two methods: for a smoother edge, follow the photo and pick up from the outer, sawtooth edge of the lace. Alternatively, if you prefer a more traditional lace appearance, you may opt to pick up along the straight yarn-over edge as initially indicated in the pattern. This choice will allow you to tailor the look of your shawl to your own taste.

Rest assured, these essential details will be incorporated into the pattern for clarity.
