A perfect layer for when the sun and the clouds are battling it out and you want something soft around your neck and shoulders, this shawl is sure to become a fast favorite. The lace border is knit first then stitches are picked up and worked inward to the center. Momentum is gained rather than lost as the number of stitches per row decreases the farther in you get.
