This pretty shawl is worked side to side, with panels of lace, in a gentle triangle shape. Then it has two knitted-on borders at the top edge. The two-colored edge is a simple slip stitch pattern where you use only one yarn per row. So while it looks complex, it’s actually very straightforward. The thought behind the border at the top rather than the bottom, is that you will see more of it – it frames the face rather than emphasizing the backside. I also added a jaunty little fringe to the lower edge, in purple, to add an extra pop of color there. Choose some favorite contrasting colors and cast on!

Brenda Castiel Designs
I’ve been knitting on and off since my teens, but became somewhat obsessed with it in 2007. I love squishy wools for the short, mild Los Angeles winters, and like light-weight wools, cottons and blends for the rest of the year. I really believe that even beginner knitters can create something beautiful and useful, so I strive to keep patterns simple yet original. I have sold designs to Interweave Knits, Vogue Knitting, Knit Picks, Knit Now magazine, Classic Elite Yarns, and Three Irish Girls Yarns, and have been published in several books. I produce a monthly newsletter with knitting tips, freebies, reviews, and giveaways -- please sign up at www.knitandtravelandsuch.blogspot.com. Get a free pattern when you sign up.
