Seraphim Shawl Ready to Buy!

Seraphim is a very simple, yet elegant design that makes one think of feathered wings - hence the name ;) If using fingering weight yarn, the solid stockinette upper portion gives a warmth not found in most lace shawls. It would be perfect to throw over a t-shirt in a drafty room, or could spice up a plain black dress for an evening out. The stockinette upper slowly fades into the lace edging for a subtle effect.

This versitile design is worked from the top down. Techniques used include knit, purl, yarn over (yo), knit 2 together (k2tog), slip slip knit (ssk), sl1-k2tog-psso, and a centered double decrease. The lace patterning is in chart form, so ability to read charts would be needed. The charts are the size of legal paper for easy viewing - if printing out the pattern, legal sized paper will be needed to avoid splitting the charts.

Requirements
Yarn: About 7 oz. of fingering weight yarn. It could also be done in laceweight as long as the gauge was right. I estimate if you used laceweight, you'd need less than 100 grams.
Needles: US Size 5 24" circulars
Notions: 4 stitch markers, and a row counter would be handy.
Gauge: 5 - 5.5 spi
