Edged In Lace (S2016)
Make in any size. A 36” to 40” (91 to 102 cm) square in lace
weight makes a warm shoulder shawl. Create a warmer
wrap in fingering or sport yarn or use this weight for a
baby blanket. In DK, a 40”- 48” (102-122 cm) square is a
great lap robe and a 50”- 60” (127-152 cm) square a cozy
afghan.

* It is not necessary to match these gauges exactly, but aim
for a loose knit that will result in a soft fabric when blocked.
