This pattern was inspired by the edging on the Virga Shawl by Rosemary (Romi) Hill. It caught my eye and I started to wonder if I
could make it into an overall pattern. The answer, after a lot of trial and swatching, was sort of.

 The pattern is long because the shawl is completely charted out
with no repeats. Also, there are two complete sets of charts. The
first set shows just the right-side rows and leaves it to the knitter
to switch from purl to seed stitch where needed on the wrong-
side rows. I prefer this as it makes the charts more compact and,
for me, easier to read. The second set gives both the right- and
wrong-side rows. You choose which is easier for you to follow.

 Start with a tab cast-on. I like a seed stitch edging instead of a garter stitch
one because the gauge is closer to the stockinette gauge and I like the texture,
cast on 5 stitches and do 18 rows
of k1, p1, k1, p1, k1. On the next
row, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, turn work
90 degrees and pick up 9 stitches
along the side of the little tab
you just made, turn another 90
degrees and pick up 5 stitches
along the cast-on edge. You can
also start with a provisional cast-
on to give you the final 5
stitches. Work one row k1, p1,
k1, p1, k1, p9, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1.

 Charts without Wrong-Side Rows
All even (wrong-side) rows are worked k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, purl (except for the sections of seed stitch, which are worked in pattern) until
the last five stitches, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1.
