St. Tropez has a simple triangle shape with an allover beautiful lace pattern. Elegant and light as a feather, this shawl can be worn wrapped around your neck as a scarf or to keep your shoulders warm on a cool summer night.

Notions
Tapestry needle
1 locking stitch markers (optional)

Special stitches
Sk2po: Slip 1 stitch knit wise, knit 2 stitches together, pass the slipped stitch over the k12tog stitch.
Russian bind-off: Knit 2 stitches. (Insert the left needle into the front of those 2 stitches and knit both stitches together or slip both stitches back to the left needle and knit through back loop. This leaves 1 stitch on the right needle. Knit 1). Repeat until the correct number of stitches have been bound off. Once you’ve bound off the required stitches, you will be left with 1 stitch on your right needle. Break the yarn and pull it through this stitch as for a normal bind-off.

Notes
You may wish to put a locking stitch marker on the stitches in bold, which indicate the spines. You will increase on either side of both spines as well as inside the first 2 and the last 2 stitches for the first 16 rows. After that you will continue to increase 4 stitches every right-side row: after the first 2 stitches, before the first spine, after the second spine, and before the last 2 stitches. Placing locking stitch markers on the spine will help you remember to increase as directed and keep your place in the pattern.
