Thistle

This shawl is an elongated crescent-shaped shawl with generous wingspan. Worked in three main sections, Thistle begins at the top with a garter tab cast on and garter stitch section, then transitions to a honeycomb textured stitch section, followed by a yarn over mesh lace pattern, culminating in a delicate chevron lace border. Increases are made along the top edge of the shawl throughout the first section. The picot bind-off creates a lovely finish to this project. (This pattern was written in one size for sport weight yarns, but could be adapted to smaller/larger dimensions using lighter/heavier yarns.)
