Knit on the bias, Headwaters is a fingering weight triangular shawl with an asymmetrical shape, perfect for wrapping around your neck. Varied sections of water-like lace are separated with meditative garter ridges and stripes, then finished off with a picot edge. Designed in Dapper Dye Works Pearl, this luxurious blend of merino, silk, and cashmere results in a beautifully draped piece. It is lightweight, yet adds the warmth you need on those cooler days and nights.

NOTES:
• Sample shown used a needle one size smaller than gauge needle for lace panels because those sections are generally knit at a looser gauge than the garter body.
• Shawl is worked sideways on the bias, casting on at one side and and working out to the other side.
• There will be an extra increase at the end of every third RS row. This will form a slight curve at the top of the shawl for extra comfort around the neck.
• When following the pattern both written and charted instructions are provided. When any section is directed you are free to follow either set of instructions.
