~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fly your banner high with Vexillum! This light-weight, asymmetric triangle is knit with a simple cabled from the tip to the widest point. The cables form little points at the widest point and the entire shawl is edged in a knitted-as-you-go lace I-cord, making it a “banner” of beauty. And since it’s constructed from the tip to the wide end, you can knit for as long as your yarn lasts.
Stitch pattern is both written and charted.

• Length: 40” / 101.5cm
