Argosy Shawl
By Vyvyan Neel htt;//naappycamper.eponym.com/blog
This shawl takes the Argosy pattern in a different direction. It is triangular in shape and has a long straight edge at the top/neck edge. It is not a bias knit as most of the other Argosies have been. It's worked in yarn that is appropriate for spring/summer wraps and could even be used as a beach wrap at the waist. Once the piece is blocked, most of the curling at the edges seems to disappear. I like to Use decorative hair picks or fancy chopsticks to keep the shawl closed.

Using crochet hook, work single crochet across top straight edge of shawl beginning at the top right hand side with RS facing. Insert hook into center of bind off stitches and through a purl bump 2 rows below on the WS. This will help to keep the top edge from curling to the right side. Weave in all yarn ends and block softly to measurements or desired size. When I blocked this shawl, I used my blocking board but did not pin down points. I used the nozzle of my upright steamer to press the points and edging flat with great results. Edited: June 16, 2007 Thanks, Sandi!
