Ever wanted to knit a square lace shawl from the center out?

The Garden Shawl starts with just eight stitches and grows round by round into an all-over lace garden. An applied lace edging is knit sideways around all four sides and grafted at the ends, so there’s no bind-off or seams at all.

Intermediate Pattern – the lace is CHARTED ONLY, there are no written stitch pattern instructions. Video tutorials for the techniques are included.
