The half-pi shawl is a circular shawl that uses basic math to create its shape. It’s one of the easiest and most adaptable shawl shapes for including lace, cables, textured stitches, and decorative edges. I take out all of the guesswork by providing stitch counts and a compact dictionary of preferred stitches and edges. We’ll also cover sideway panels, including sideways cables as a way to add interest and texture. To add to your new repertoire of techniques, I am also including a download to my half-pi cowlette pattern.
