Babylon

Please note: larger-than-normal STR skein

This sinuous shawlette is designed to show off unusual colorways while fighting pooling with varying-width edging and tapered ends. Short rows at the center back curve the shawlette into a shoulder-hugging crescent and add interest to the pattern. Babylon is worked from tip to tip in one piece. The neck edge has an i-cord border for comfort and to prevent curling.

This pattern was inspired by a beautiful lace edging and a gorgeous skein of sock yarn that just didn’t want to be a pair of socks.
