This whimsical garter and cabled lace asymmetrical shawl features a panel of lace on the right side of a center decrease line. The shawl is cast on from a small point of 7 stitches, knit up to 118 stitches, and worked even before a quick decrease to the end. It is designed to have a 55 inch (140 cm) wingspan, but this can be adjusted to preference by continuing Section 3 where yardage allows. The lace panel to the right of the center slipped stitch is a charted (only) cabled lace with a 24 row repeat over 39 stitches.
