Tired of triangles? Try this pretty and wearable L-shaped wrap instead. It’s easy to knit like a rectangular stole (no shaping), yet it stays on your shoulders with extra coverage. The soft wool provides lovely drape for just the extra layer you need when breezes blow.
The shawl is worked in sections, starting with lace and optional beads on one edge, moving into stripes of different yarns and easy textures such as garter stitch, slipped stitch, and stockinette stitch. Once the lace edging is done, the rest is a relaxing knit. The pattern uses grafting, so no sewing is required,
Try it in your 2 favorite colors; or all one color, for a more subdued look.
Pattern is charted, has a schematic, and has been professionally tech-edited and test knit.

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.
