Diamonds and Dashes by Rachel Brockman combines gorgeous lace and delightful texture in this rhythmic lace shawl. Diamonds & Dashes gets its name from the marriage of a pretty diamond-lace motif with the fabulous zips of color featured in soft, smooth Zesty Sock. Envelop yourself completely in the larger size or keep it simpler with the smaller size. Either way, youre going to love wrapping this gorgeous shawl around your neck and shoulders anytime the air is brisk!

This shawl is knit flat in one piece from the widest edge and decreases to the tip. Instructions for the Shape Shawl and Shape Tip sections are both written and charted for your convenience.

The Lace pattern is included in the Stitch Guide as a reference for creating a swatch and familiarizing yourself with the stitch pattern. When working the actual shawl, these instructions are written out fully. You may wish to place markers between each pattern repeat to help you stay on track. The Lace pattern is repeated a total of 17 (27) times across the body of the shawl. Please note that decreases commence immediately after the lower border of the shawl is completed.
