The new Paislee shawl is knitted top down and increases steadily with a pretty, lacy edge stitch. The new Sublime skein used here for the top part gives you plenty of color changes and a lovely Herringbone type lace border done in the soft Bambon yarn frames the shawl beautifully.
The crescent shape definitely lends itself for many styling options as you can see in the many photos.
The blocked shawl measures: 77" in overall length and 18" in middle height.
The pattern is fully written and has offers a chart as well.
