This is a very simple lace shawl, designed to be variegated yarn friendly. It could easily be adapted to be either thinner or wider depending on the amount of yarn to hand.

A shorter version, using one skein of sock yarn, would make a nice baby blanket.

Corrections (6 August 2008): A new version of the PDF has been uploaded to correct an error in line 7, the very final k2tog should, in fact, be just a k2. Thanks for spotting this meaderknits!
