This two-tone, sideways knit, crescent shawl is sweet enough to eat. It features a picot stripe on a stocking stitch background. A lace edging is applied separately to the lower edge, so is optional. The top edge is picked up and finished with a picot bind off. This pattern is charted and is rated as moderate (without edging) or advanced (with edging).
