Inspired by utilitarian working shawls, this large heirloom piece features a center-out contsruction and an intricate lace motif framing the simple, geometric center. Worked in Loft, it creates a warm and cozy fabric that invites snuggling up under. Use it as a dramatic wardrobe accessory, an special heirloom baby shawl, or even as a lightweight throw in your living space – versatility is one of the hallmarks of this design.

Construction

• The center portion of this square shawl is worked in the round from the center out, beginning with 8 stitches.
• After the completion of Chart C (Knitted Lace Frame), you will no longer work in the round. The shawl will be finished by attaching a traditional Knitted-On Edging (Chart D) in place of a standard bind off.
