Gullywasher

In the southern United States, the term "gullywasher" refers to a sudden, intense, and often brief downpour of rain—a fitting name for this beautiful shawl that echoes the natural beauty of such weather phenomena. This exquisite shawl begins at the right-hand tip and rapidly expands with cleverly placed yarnovers at both the beginning and end of every row. A thoughtful decrease in the center of each right-side row causes the garter stitch section to have a lovely slant, reminiscent of rain cascading gracefully. The pattern features sporadic eyelet rows within the garter stitch that mimic raindrops falling and pooling into a delicate lacy wave pattern in the lower portion of the shawl, adding a touch of whimsy and texture.

As you continue to knit, once you achieve the desired full width, the enticing waves begin to decrease again while the garter stitch area continues its graceful growth. When only two stitches remain of the lace portion, it's time to bind off all stitches along the lower left edge of the shawl, completing your stunning design.
