The Gable shawl is a small kerchief
designed to be worn multiple ways. It
is worked from one tip to the other,
beginning with increases on every right-
side row until the shawl reaches its full width.
Decreases then shape the fabric back down to
the opposite tip. The size can easily be adjusted
by adding additional pattern repeats for a larger
shawl.
