Pattern Description:

Charlize is an elegant yet modern, crescent shaped shawlette that knits up beautifully in both semi-solid and variegated yarns, and can be worn casually or formally. Worked from the top center and outward to the ruffled edging, the lace portion is simple enough for a beginner to lace, while engaging enough for experienced lace knitters looking for a quick, fun knit. The rapid rate of increasing gives this unique accessory enough length to be worn as a scarf & also creates a curved shape that will wrap easily around the shoulders when worn as a shawl.

Directions are included for two size options, and are provided in row by row written instruction and chart form.

If you like the look of Charlize but love classic triangular shawls, check out Sacha, the triangular interpretation of this pattern! :)

I am rating this a higher difficulty, as I found I had to keep count every row. So I did rip out a few times ( though I don't like lifelines at all). Ended up just tinking the rows anyway, I prefer this method. So did take a while to finish the lace section Chart A. Chart B not a problem. Chart C...make sure ribbing is correct..can easily get distracted..& whoops did a purl instead of knit & vice versa.
