The Sweet Oak Shawl, named after the Sweet Oak Cardigan, is a rectangular shawl with handsome openwork stitch patterns and a seed stitch border. Wear it as a shawl, or as a luxurious scarf.

As you work, you progress through four easy-to-work stitch patterns that flow out of each other towards the center. Stacked decreases form subtle ridges that continue throughout the shawl, and form gentle waves. A great way to show off hand-dyed yarns. Worked in two halves from the bottom up and grafted at the center. Easy to modify the size.
