I really enjoy knitting a shawl that has a relaxing rhythm with a simple lace pattern. With this in mind, I designed Dancing Embers. This pattern features a top down triangular shawl started with a garter tab cast-on. A triangle is constructed on each side of the shawl separated by a stockinette center stitch. The design starts out with a simple lace pattern with optional beading that looks more intricate as the shawl grows. This pattern can easily be modified to use more yardage of a gradient skein of yarn.
