Love big shawls?

Then cast on the new Stepping it up shawl. It's worked top down in a semi crescent/triangular shape. Sound intriguing, right? It grows all along the sides and in the beginning also in the middle with eyelets in stockinette stitch, there are color changes and great stitch patterns to try including two pretty lace designs. The bind off is done with three yarns held together to make a prominent edge.

The pattern is fully written and also offers several charts.

The unblocked size measures 102" in overall length and 23" in middle height.
