A Vortex shape, worked with a very straightforward lace motif. The double yarnovers and the very simple and linear patterning make for a bold look, geometric and straightforward, rather than fussy or delicate. The first section of the shawl worked a pattern spaced out between garter ridges. The lacier edging is created by working the patterned row from the first section every RS row, with no garter ridges in between.

As worked, the half the yardage is used for the first pattern, and the other half of the yardage for the edging pattern. This is easily adjusted for a different yarn, gauge or yardage.

The yarn choice used for the sample makes this a light piece for warmer weather. It would look just as good in something warmer!

A version of this pattern was published in The Knitter Magazine. Unfortunately, the written instructions for Section 2 had a couple of mistakes. The charts are correct. If you prefer written instructions, drop me a message and I’ll get them to you.
