Water Hyacinth

Leaf and mesh lace give this triangle shawl a dual personality - sometimes dressy, sometimes casual, always playful. And a nice bonus, the stitch pattern looks equally good from both sides.

The shawl is worked in one piece from a narrow tip to a wide end, ending with a pretty picot bind off.

Yarn: 4 skeins Sunday Knits 3 ply (sport weight - 246 yd per 50 g skein) in Eden (merino), Angelic (merino angora), Nirvana (merino cashmere) or Brigadoon (merino tweed). Substitute any light sport weight yarn that, when worked to gauge, makes a nice loose fabric. (This yarn typically gets about 7 sts per inch, and I recommend an equally gauged yarn.)

Techniques used: Knitted lace (worked on right side only), reading charts, knitted cast-on.

Pattern includes: Written instructions, stitch pattern is in charted format only, glossary.
