Caine is a contemporary, textured lace shawl. The asymmetrical triangular shaping begins with just a few stitches which then flow into a basketweave panel. The remainder of the body is a growing field of eyelets surrounded by reverse stockinette boxes. The versatile shape may be draped in many configurations.

Caine is a great first lace project since there is minimal shaping and both the basketweave pattern and the simple eyelet pattern are very intuitive to knit and easy to memorize. If you can knit and purl with ease and are familiar with basic decreases and increases, in no time at all you can knit up a Caine of your very own! The size is easy to customize; full instructions are provided, including how to calculate stitch counts for any size.

While dimensions and yardage are provided for worsted weight, Caine could effectively be worked in other yarn weights, although sport weight or heavier is recommended to show off the texture to its best advantage.

The Caine pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
