A top-down shawl worked with panels of geometric lace and garter stitch that emulate the sails on a windsurfing board. The 100% rayon from bamboo is sleek and shiny, it dances in the wind coming off the water like a sail rippling in the breeze.

PATTERN NOTES
This is a top down shawl that is started with a garter stitch tab. The yarn used for the sample is very slippery and using a bamboo or wood needle can help keep the stitches from slipping off.
