Octave is an elegant and versatile small shawl that is knitted sideways in one piece. While the 8-row repeat worked throughout is easy to memorize and intuitive to knit, the sideways construction ensures that there is plenty of action to keep your interest as you work your way across the rows, including a wrap-around garter selvedge, decorative slipped stitches framing a garter stitch body, mesh lace border details and a pretty sawtooth edge.

Octave is appropriate for both newer knitters who are looking to try some simple lace that is not too daunting as well as experienced knitters looking for a relaxing, stress-free knit that works up quickly.
