Relaxing lace repeats on a stockinette background make the Zig My Zag Shawl a wonderful introduction to lace knitting. Suitable for an adventurous beginner, or anyone who is seeking a calming project, this shawl allows you to indulge in techniques such as the cable cast on, eyelets, and two types of decreases.

The sample shown in photos used 520 yards of sock yarn from Montana Crochet in the colorway Charmed and measures 60” wide by 26” deep (in the center). However, you can very easily adjust the size of the shawl to use any yardage you like. Notes in the pattern indicate how to do this.
