Drawing Nigh Shawl Pattern

By Susan B. Anderson

This semi-circular shawl  is worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn, gradually introducing new colors to create a smooth gradation from top edge to hem. Drawing Nigh features a simple lace pattern that makes the worsted weight shawl light and airy. This would be a perfect first venture into knitting lace with a simple chart.
