This two-color rectangular wrap is worked from the center out. It begins with a long strip of a lace pattern. Stitches are picked up around the edges, and the garter stitch border is worked in the round from there. Increases are worked at the corners.

The pattern is written for one size, but is easily adaptable to any size you’d like. The center strip will determine the ratio of length to width. To adjust the width of the center strip you will need to begin with a multiple of 10 plus 9.

This shawl may be worked in any weight yarn, but keep in mind that the heavier the yarn, the more yarn you will need. Be sure to allow extra. The amount of yarn used can be impacted by slight differences in gauge, yarn weight, and variations — even in the same yarn category — from brand to brand. If you do run out of yarn, this pattern is easily adapted to ending early. For every 8.5 rounds 2” (5cm) will be lost in the overall length and width.

The sample used nearly all of Color B, be sure to allow extra.
