Arch Cape is inspired by the beauty of the Oregon Coast. Simple enough for a daring beginner, pair with a lush yarn and enjoy the transition from simple garter stitch to a flowing ruffle. The increases at the center form a subtle silhouette of another Oregon Coast landmark - Haystack Rock!

This is a pattern that you can tailor to any yarn amount. Two hanks of Madelinetosh Worsted make a shawl 60” across the top, although you can continue until your shawl is as long as you like.

My gauge is typically very loose. Although the recommended needle size for the body starts at size 9, you may want to begin your gauge swatch 1-2 needle sizes larger.

The ruffle is worked in stockinette, not garter. The gauge for the stockinette ruffle is 3.5sts/inch, the 3sts/inch gauge is for the body, in garter.
