Widow's Web Shawl

"Will you walk into my parlor?" Said the spider to the fly.

Knit yourself a dreamy delicate cobweb of silky alpaca. The Widow's Web Shawl is worked from the top down, starting with a crochet cast-on. A beginning eyelet row is worked to set-up the pattern, then shawl is decreased one eyelet per row until there is only one left.

Due to the airy, lacy nature of this piece, gauge is not important; feel free to experiment with yarn weights, and needle sizes.

Recommended yarn:

Fyberspates Cumulus 74% Alpaca / 26% Silk

3 skeins needed - 420 yds {385 m}

Fyberspates Cumulus is listed as a lace to fingering weight, but is on the heavier side, the thicker core, coupled with the halo, make it almost a sport weight. A suitable alternative would be two strands of lace weight kid silk held double.
