The Cayucos shawl features the Wildflower stitch in a textured side panel, and a lovely Aran Lace cabled side edging that’s knit at the same time.

The Cayucos shawl is shown in three different yarn weights: laceweight Wash My Lace; DK Croquet; and worsted weight For Better or Worsted. The latter two are shown as two-colored designs, worked in simple intarsia. Of course you can work these sizes in a single color as well.
