Lace Shawl
by Alice Halbeisen
This generously sized lace shawl makes a nice cover-up for a sleeveless dress on a cool summer evening. Alice Halbeisen capitalized on the scalloped cast-on edge of the lace pattern by working the shawl in two halves (each half begins with a cast-on edge) and joining them at the center. The cotton-tencel yarn used here has beautiful drape and feels soft and silky against the skin. Customize the width by adding or subtracting 16-stitch pattern repeats.

FINISHING
Place each half on a needle and hold with RS facing up. With yarn threaded on a tapestry needle, use the Kitchener st (see Glossary) to graft the pieces tog, matching the tension of the knitted sts. (Alternately, loosely BO the sts of each half and sew the two halves tog.) Weave in loose ends. Block to measurements.

Kitchener Stitch Step 1: Bring threaded needle through front stitch as if to purl and leave stitch on needle. Step 2: Bring threaded needle through back stitch as if to knit and leave stitch on needle. Step 3: Bring threaded needle through rst front stitch as if to knit and slip this stitch off needle. Bring threaded needle through next front stitch as if to purl and leave stitch on needle. Step 4: Bring threaded needle through rst back stitch as if to purl (as illustrated), slip this stitch off, bring needle through next back stitch as if to knit, leave this stitch on needle. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until no stitches remain on needles.
