Beginning with Judy’s Magic Cast On allows this shawl to have chunky cable that runs seamlessly along the neck edge of this simple and elegant shawl. Instead of joining to work in the round, you simply work flat. The beautiful bulky yarn from Stitch Sprouts makes the knitting go super fast and causes the easy-to-work 2/2 cables pop!

The shaping increases fall on either side of stitch markers creating decorative lines of lace breaking up the gentle expanse of stockinette. When it comes time for the trim you switch from wedge shaping to pi-shawl shaping and the luscious basket-weave pattern continues without any increases.

This pattern is easily adjustable for size.
