I call this the City Shawl because it has no flowers, trees, leaves, or feathers worked into the lace. There's no fluttery finge. It's a supersimple, easily memorizable mesh lace pattern, interspersed with layers of just plain garter stitch. Straightforward design, straightforward instructions, clean lines.

If you start this on Friday night, you'll have a finished shawl to wear to work on Monday.
