LACE SHAWL
Shari White’s shawl design can do the talking for you
Contrasting closed and airy stitches work together with silky, smooth yarn to make some waves with an almost shimmery effect and fluid drape.
NOTES
Shawl is worked in rows throughout.
The stitch count remains constant on each row. For the Main Body of the Shawl, all sts are worked into the treble stitches in the previous row and never in the ch-2 sps. On the Edging sts are worked into the ch-sp and treble stitches.
