Jagger begins with the gauzy border adorned with large diamonds from which the stitches are picked up for the centre section of the shawlette.
The stocking stitch centre lends the mesh border a little stability, simultaneously creating the perfectly arching-ribbon shape. The centre part is knitted from the border towards the neck, which means that the rows diminish in length as you knit on.
The mesh edging pattern is both written out row by row and charted for your convenience.
