Bienvenido Shawl

Originally published through A Verb For Keeping Warm Pro-Verbial Club in July 2020.

A simple to work lace pattern swaps places with ridged stockinette around a center panel that uses increases and decreases to create a faux-cable spine.

The shawl begins at the neck with a garter tab cast-on, and increases are worked every row to create the elongated triangular shape that stays put around your shoulders or neck. A narrow band of lace rings is worked across the bottom to round the hem, then a pretty sawtooth edging is worked perpendicularly along the hem edge.

Instructions given in charted and written format.
