This stunning, yet simple, shoulder shawl is knit in one piece from the top down. The feather motif forms a beautiful border ending in a picot edge. The shape of this shawl makes it stay in place. The front points can be worn draped or fastened with a shawl pin. For a different look, fasten the front points of the shawl to the back corners to wear it as a shrug.

This is an easy, one skein project that will knit up quickly in just a few days. The shawl pictured was knit with one skein of Noro Silk Garden sock yarn (328 yards). The design really shows off yarns with long color runs like Noro. It would look equally good knit in a solid, a tone-on-tone, handspun, mohair, silk, etc. Instructions are given in the pattern for knitting it in laceweight to worsted.

This five page pattern includes complete line-by-line instructions plus a lace chart for the border.
