The Tahoe Shawl is an asymmetrical shawl shape. It is worked with purls and knits that make for interesting stripes with lace panels interspersed throughout. The result is a visually fun knit that is as much fun to make as it is to wear. The size can be easily modified by starting the large lace panel earlier in place of the smaller lace panels.
