CONSTRUCTION This large shawl, or small blanket, features lace and garter and is worked from the centre out, starting with a mitred square worked flat. Stitches are picked up around the edges of the square, then worked in the round in and increased at four points, similar to a raglan yoke. Stitch patterns alternate between lace, stockinette and garter until the hap reaches its final measurements.
