Bird Cage Shawl

What if a single decrease could be nearly vertical? What if I moved where the increases for a top-down shawl were placed? So many of my patterns start with my thinking “What if?” and then playing with charts and yarn to find the answers.

All year I have been enamored of those fancy bird cage planters that every home improvement store has been trying to sell me, but unfortunately I have a black thumb!

This pattern introduces an almost vertical single decrease, creating cage lines and uses simple lace leaf motifs to create your own un-killable bird cage planter.

Lace pattern is presented in both charts and written line by line instructions, for your preferred method of lace knitting!
