Nautical Ropes Shawl is an asymmetrical, triangular shaped shawl, worked end to end on the bias. The shawl shown here was made with only one skein of a linen and merino blend fingering weight yarn. If you want to make it larger, it is easy to do so which is explained. Featured in this pattern are an easy to work rib stich pattern (the lovely mock cable), a pretty lace edging (the icing on the cake) followed by a picot bind off (fun ending).
