Caprice is worked from tip to the lace edging. Simple garter stitch stripes are blended with crossed stitches and simple lace to create a shawl that’s fun to knit and wear.

Exact tension is not essential but a difference in tension may affect the final size and amount of yarn used.

Tutorials can be found on my website for Knitting with beads and Elongated Crossed Stitches.

Errata:
k2w should read: k3w - Insert RH ndl knitwise into next st, wrap yarn 3 times around RH ndl and finish st as normal.

The following info is missing after the edging has been worked:
Cast off using Russian cast-off.
