This shawl brings up memories of a very creative aunt of mine. She created/baked tortes like you would not believe. So I called this shawl Lotte in her honor, as I remember one of my faves, a yummy peach torte with a turquoise colored frosting. Child hood memories are the best aren't they?
The shawl is a rectangular shape with a fun and easy to knit wavy pattern going all around the "cake", followed by a simple stockinette body. The finishing touch or "frosting" is done with a contrasting I-cord bind off.
The blocked shawl measures 52" in length and 12" in height. The pattern is fully written, has a how to do the I-cord bind off video link and also offers a lace chart.
