Aoide was the Ancient Greek titan muse of song and this shawl will make your heart and needles sing. It is a stunning heart-shaped shawl, worked top down in stripey stockinette with a gorgeous lace border and eyelet edging.

The pattern is fully written and also has charts for the lace panel. The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. These additional techniques are used: provisional cast on, garter stitch tab and stretchy cast off.
