This pattern shares a cable motif with my Apricity Socks pattern, bordered by lace panels. Apricity means “the warmth of the sun in winter” – and this shawl can certainly provide additional warmth while you wait for spring to arrive or as summer fades into autumn.

While details are given for fingering and DK weight yarns, you can work this shawl in any weight yarn you wish. Just stop when you have used 90% of your yarn (or desired size is reached) and then work the border.
