Bridgette Shawl

Bridgette is a long shallow crescent shawl with a geometric lacy border. The body of the shawl consists of soft, squishy ribbing. Currently on sale for Indie June!

Yarn Notes:

The sample shown is worked in Knit Picks Comfy Fingering, but this pattern looks great in many different yarns. Beautiful projects have been made with cotton, wool, alpaca and acrylic yarns. A suggested cotton substitute available on LoveKnitting is Katia Mississippi 3. For wool lovers, Bridgette looks beautiful in Madelinetosh.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Required Skills:

• basic stitches (ch, sc, sl st, hdc, dc, trc)
• basic increases and decreases
• back loop only stitches

Construction:

The body of Bridgette is worked sideways. A varying increase/decrease rate forms the outer curved edge. The other edge remains flat throughout. A round of single crochet surrounds the body, then the border is worked along the curved edge.
