Asymmetric shaping, easy lace and garter stitch combine to create this quick-to-knit shawl. It’s worked from the bottom up with short rows the way many crescent shawls are worked, except in the case of Coastline Shawl the deepest point is not in the center but off to the side, creating a sweeping shape. A lace panel runs from the top edge to the bottom, where it blends in with the lace that decorates the edge of the shawl. Coastline Shawl would show off the colors of a hand-dyed sock or sport weight yarn wonderfully; however as gauge is not crucial you could use any yarn you like.
