This round shawl is knit from the center to the outer edge. It may be knit to any size to suit your intended use. The pictured shawl is knit in lace weight yarn. The directions show charts for two separate panels, although they are very similar. The lace pattern and increases are amazingly easy creating a very complex looking design. It may be knit in a single color, a by blending colors together for an ombre affect. A friend is testing knitting the pattern in a beautiful variegated yarn.
