Petrina

A simple relaxing garter stitch shawl, worked from the top down with a pretty eyelet pattern panel down the back. The edge is worked sideways and attached to the shawl as you go. The edge requires a little bit more concentration, but is not difficult.

The lace parts are provided both as charts, and written directions.

Gauge Gauge is not very important, but will obviously affect finished size and yarn consumption. 18 sts/40 rows = 4×4"/10x10 cm in garter st, after blocking. 1 repeat lace edge (29 sts/30 rows)≈6×3¾"/15x9.5 cm after blocking.

Silk stretches a bit, and is very drapey. If you are working with another fiber, like wool, you may have to go up in needle size to obtain an airy fabric.
