Rib and Lace Shawl

Rib and Lace Shawl is worked sideways and shaped with asymmetrical increases which create an elongated triangle shape. Alternating stripes of squishy rib and simple lace give this shawl an interesting texture and a stylish look. The size of the shawl can be easily modified by working fewer or more repeats of the pattern so that you can make a large shawl or a shawlette, and you can use different yarn weights, from fingering to worsted. The alternating stripes of rib and lace are easy to work and even the larger versions knit up fast. (Photos by Miss Babs)
