This is a shawl worked from side to side with a beautiful cable pattern at the edge. The rest of the shawl is worked in Garter stitch. Five stitches at the edge are knit in Stockinette but are never bound off. They are unraveled to create a nice fringe for the shawl. There is no need to add the fringe after the shawl is finished.

This pattern is part of a collection of six designs. 50% of the proceeds, after expenses, will be donated to Brain Cancer research at UCSF (University of California, San Francisco) in memory of my sister who lost her battle with the disease in July 2012.
