Versatile and beautiful, this shawl is knit with alternating sections of
Garter Stitch and Horseshoe Lace. Knit from the top down using the
Garter Tab Cast On method, it's a quick and simple knit shawl that is
perfect for wrapping yourself in softness while still being stylish enough
for an evening on the town.
