This one is a doozy! You start with a tip-up triangle shawl with the increases along the side. Then when you get far enough with that, you leave the top row of stitches on a holder, and pick up stitches along the two angle edges and knit a lace border out from there. Then you knit a thinner lace border along the edge of those two edges and the top edge.
I can already tell from how long it is taking me to knit this little sample that I am never going to do this for reals with a person-sized shawl. But it is definitely an interesting construction method! And as with the mini #1, it’s a fun learning exercise!
How about you? Do you have any projects that turned out way more complicated than you thought they would be? Share your grisly tales in the comments!
It’s very pretty but I think I’d pass on full human size too:)
I have a sock kit that is so many cables and twisted stitches that I’m not sure I want to commit the time to something no one will see.

That’s the exact thing that keeps me from doing fancy socks!
