Inspired by the historic railroad bridge in the place where I was raised, the Five Arch shawl features flowing, arch-shaped cables paired with soothing garter stitch. The harmony between these textures shows up best with a smoothly spun fingering-weight yarn in either a solid or mostly solid colorway.

The triangular shawl is worked flat from one corner upwards in one piece. Each section of the shawl is written out and charted. To make a larger shawl, simply work more 12-row repeats as established (i.e., work more repeats of Rows 25-36 in the Cable Panel and Body chart) until the shawl is your desired length and then adjust the stitch count for the ribbed border accordingly.
