Brilliant gems of airy lace cascade along the bottom edge of the Spring Mills Shawl.

This asymmetrical shawl begins with a few stitches and grows to the opposite edge. The lace border is established along the bottom with a stockinette main body along the top. Instructions are included for two sizes; the pattern is also easily adapted to use up all the available yarn.

The sample was knit using a gradient mini-skein set, but the shawl could also be worked in a solid, semi-solid, or speckled colorway.

Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but using a heavier weight yarn or larger needles will affect the size of the finished shawl.

Instructions are both written and charted.
