"A Bow in the Sky" designed by Courtney Kelley
This shawl is constructed as a half circle, based on the half-pi shawl method. A garter stitch selvedge of four stitches is worked at the beginning and end of each row. Each eyelet row doubles the number of stitches between the garter selvedges, plus one additional eyelet increase for symmetry. The lace edging is worked horizontally across the live stitches at the end.
