Pattern has been completely updated and revised to include charts so the lace sections now have both charted and written instructions. Chart lovers rejoice.

This versatile little shawl will be a must-have addition to your wardrobe. Not only is it a wrap for those cool evenings, a topper for a sundress, or a chic kerchief-style scarf, it even works as a beach cover up when tied around the hips.

It’s knit from the center back down with a single 100-gram skein of luxury sock yarn. The unusual shaping helps it stay on the shoulders nicely. Pattern is suitable for the Advanced Beginner to Intermediate knitter. Techniques required: basic stitches, increases and decreases, simple shaping, basic lace techniques (yo, k2tog, ssk, sk2p, M1, kfb, kfbf). Pattern was written for a 490 yds skein of yarn but is easy to adjust for smaller skeins of yarn.

Gradient version notes:
Stockinette section was worked in first two colors of the gradient, Sand Dune Lace in color 3, Waves Lace in colors 3 - 6.

Thank you to Sarah for the fresh tech edit, and to my testers, Cath, Eliesa, and Melinda for checking the new version.
