This is shawl I knit to wear to my niece's wedding. I first knit a lacy pattern sleeveless top and had lots of yarn leftover. The yarn is a silk/cotton blend and it is wonderful to work with. I used the basic shoulder shawl pattern: Cast on 10, Increase in every stitch in the first row, increase in every stitch in the second row, then increase at the beginning and end of each row until it is the size you want. I added some yarn-overs for interest. I also decided to do a fancy cast-off edge. That edge took me longer than the entire shawl. But it is what everyone notices first.
