DESIGN INFORMATION
Egret is a simple triangle shawl worked from the top down featuring a main body of stockinette stitch. The lace panel section showcases an easy to memorize lace and rib stitch. The bottom edge of the shawl is worked in a 1x1 rib for a clean and minimal finish.

Knit in light-as-air Cattail Silk, a light fingering weight 100% silk yarn, Egret is a shawl to please all summer long and a great transitional piece for those early fall days. The sample was knit in Moon Whilte, but there are several colors available to you on the Purl Soho website.
