Shallow waters meet the sandy heads at the Awhitu peninsula. This striped shawl with applied lace edging is knit at a loose gauge. The striped body moves to an airy sideways knit edging that is attached as you work.

CONSTRUCTION
Awhitu is a shallow triangular shawl, constructed from the top down. The pattern has you work the body of the shawl in striped garter stitch, forming a long shallow triangle. Once a specific stitch count is reached, an lace applied edging is worked sideways along the body.
