La Catedral

La Catedral is a fantastic shawl that can be knit with any weight of yarn and can be as long and wide as you want.

With a unique corner-to-corner construction, this asymmetrical triangle shawl is full of texture that reminds of the architecture of a Gothic Cathedral!
An easy-to-memorize knit and purl stitch pattern leads the way to gorgeous lace, while featuring a garter edge all around.
You can knit the main part and the lace part as many times as you want!

The pattern has been tech-edited and test-knitted.
It is charted and has written instructions, as well.
