Penhale

Penhale is a simple lace shawl worked straight along the long edge from the bottom up. It begins with a German twisted cast on for a stretchy edge and goes straight into the lace section. The stitch pattern is both written and charted. After working the three charts, the shawl is gently shaped in the upper garter section using short rows and cast off using the Russian bind off.
