The pattern was designed for Sunshine Yarns and was exclusive to the Sunshine yarns for few month and sold as a kit with Sunshine Yarns UltraLuxe Light.

Bordertown is an elegant shawl that features combination of simple lace and cables. The picot edge adds visual interest. The shawl is knitted sideways. One side of the picot/cable border and the top edge are knitted simultaneously with the body of the shawl. The other half of the border is knitted along the bind off edge at the same time as bind off is done. Bordertown is light and airy shawl for you to enjoy. The shawl looks lovely in both solid and variegated yarns.

The instructions are both written and charted.
