Sometimes we all crave a bit of lace! Here is a shawl that will satisfy all your lace desires. The main lace pattern is worked from side to side so you are only working 47 stitches at a time for the majority of the work. After the main body is complete, the bottom edging is picked up along the row ends and is worked in a new lace chart while new colors are introduced. After the bottom edging is complete, the top edging is worked in the final contrast color.

This pattern has full written chart rows in addition to a chart. You do not need to know how to read charts to complete this pattern! Choose to follow the written rows or the chart rows, whatever you prefer.
