West Egg Shawl
Inspired by Art Deco Architecture and named for The Great Gatsby, the West Egg Shawl uses brioche, lace, and short rows to mimic stunning 1920s design. Its unique shape makes for a perfect shoulder drape but also removes bulk if worn like a scarf.
Skills used: I-cord cast on and bind off, brioche, and short rows
Construction: Worked flat, with short rows
Pattern Style: Written pattern
