This shawl grows from a center crescent of squishy soft garter stitch. Spoke like branches fan out from the center and end in sturdy cones between delicate fans of new needles. Worked in worsted weight yarn, this long shallow wrap that can be crossed over the chest and tied behind the waist to form a sort of vest for practical wearing. Alternately, wear it slung about the shoulders as a dramatic stole for a special occasion.

The first section, knit in garter stitch, uses 240 yards or one third of the yardage. The second section, knit in stockingette lace, uses 480 yards or two thirds of the yardage. Testing showed that yarn usage varies widely, so ensure you have plenty on hand or can get more easily!

Pattern directions are charted and written; written instructions are necessary for the garter tab set up.

This pattern was updated in 2020 to include written instructions and to unify the border charts.
