Egret | Lace Triangle Shawl
Design Information
Egret is a simple triangle shawl worked from the top down starting with a section in stockinette stitch. The lace panel section showcases an easy-to-memorize lace and rib stitch. The bottom edge of the shawl is worked in a 1x1 rib for a clean and minimal finish.
Knit in light-as-air Cattail Silk, a light-fingering weight 100% silk yarn, Egret will please all summer long and is a great transitional piece for those early fall days. The sample was knit in Moon White
