Bottoms up!

The construction of this shawl makes finishing this object a breeze. Starting with the large number of stitches on the bottom edge, each row gets gradually shorter - a Godsend for knitters with a short attention span.

There are two pattern alternatives from which to choose. Follow the Stockinette Version for a shawlette with a wide lace edge and stockinette stitch upper. Follow the All-Lace Version for a shawlette whose lace just won’t quit.

Errata:

Chart A, Rows 7 & 8, final stitch before the middle section should be /// (k3tog) rather than // (k2tog).
