A simple yet effective shawl with garter and stockinette st bands of alternating colors. As light as a chiffon cake thanks to the airy DanDoh yarn knit at a loose gauge. A perfect way to dress up a warm weather event. The decorative picot edge can be either knitted or crocheted — the pattern includes instructions for both.
