Cat’s Cradle is a three-color shawl with yarn over increases spaced within a body of two-row striping to create a deep crescent shape. Knitting begins with a garter tab at the top. The lower border features a simple ‘Cat’s Cradle’ lace pattern with variations of Feather and Fan stitch (watch for the extra yarn overs) above and below to create gentle curves.
