NEEdLES
Lace goes literary in this triangular shawl, which features a motif in the shape of a classic fountain pen nib. The pattern gets its dimensions from curving lozenges punctuated with eyelets and nupps. After trying several edging variations, designer Susan Lawrence settled on a simple pattern that accents but doesnt compete with the strong curving lines of the basic design.
Size 6 (4 mm): straight or 24" circular (cir). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

NOTES
Knit.
This shawl is worked from the center back of the neck down to the bottom edge. The main body of the shawl is worked first, followed by the bottom border. The triangular shape is created by working yarnover increases on the inside of the garter stitch borders and on each side of the center stitch. These increases are worked on right-side rows only. Use a coil-less safety pin to mark the center stitch. No other markers are necessary, although you may choose to place one before and after the two-stitch garter borders. To minimize errors, it is helpful to count your stitches as you work each wrong-side row. The stitch count increases by four stitches each time you complete a right-side row, there is always an odd number of stitches on each side of the center stitch, and the total stitch count is always an odd number. Because the bottom border flows directly from the main stitch pattern, the shawl can easily be made larger or smaller by working more or fewer repeats of the Body chart before beginning the Border chart. The sample shawl used about 77 grams (2.7 ounces) of the recommended yarn. Increasing the size of the shawl will require more yarn.
Mark center st using coil-less safety pin and move up work as needed.

Finishing
Weave in loose ends but do not trim. Soak shawl in cool water until thoroughly wet. Gently squeeze out the excess water, then place the shawl between two towels and press firmly to remove additional water. Block by pinning the damp shawl to a flat surface, pulling the points out along the bottom edge. Do not remove the pins until the shawl is completely dry. Trim yarn ends.
