Atalanta sideways

Description

Atalanta is the sassy, spunky, spurned sister in Händel’s opera, Xerxes.

• A strong, simple design with a funky, almost chunky lace border

• Knit sideways in one piece – CO only a few sts, BO as few

• Turns at midpoint – this way all of a precious skein can be used

• Gauge unimportant

• Size variable – from 1-skein shawlette to generous wrap

The body is knit in plain stockinette – could be knitted in garter stitch for a completely reversible shawl.
