This is my first published pattern, and was intended to show what to expect from me as a designer, The Pantextural (read: lots of different textures).

This unique shawl is worked side to side like a triangular shawl with steady increases up to the midway point and then steady decreases until the bind off. I-cord edging is used to cinch in the sides to create a stingray-like silhouette.

Types of stitches/techniques include:

• German Short Row (Double Stitch)
• Daisy Stitch
• Cables
• I-Cord Edging and Bind Off
• Intarsia
• Basic Increases and Decreases
• Basic Knitting and Purling

Finished Measurements: 65.9” (167.5 cm) Depth x 20.5” (52 cm) Width

Yarn Requirements:

• All yardages are approximate and include 5% buffer. Gauge will impact yardage.
• MC: Fingering weight (437yds/100g) – 790yds. Color distribution should have a 1:3 ratio of pooling to background color. More yarn will be necessary if the frequency of the pooling section is higher.
