Honeybee Stole

A rectangle shawl in two sizes featuring multiple stitch patterns. The rectangle is knitted from center back to hem; the side edges are self-trimmed. Knitting pattern is written for two sizes, petite (tall). The triangle and the rectangle versions share the same motifs and sequencing of stitch patterns, so you really do get all the deliciousness in whichever package you prefer. Both pieces are knit with lightweight lace yarn, the kind that has about 800 yards per 4-oz skein.
