Some knitters like following a written pattern and others delight in a chart. In "Fresh Designs Shawls" you can decide which you find more to your liking or switch back and forth. The patterns are clearly written with clear legends and a good variety of designs.
If you have just started on your knitting hobby, Alice Twain has an easy Good Luck Shawl to knit. Don't fret about the title, it is the result of 'one of those days' which turns out to be a good day for you. It is a half octagon shape with an off-centered eyelet that has little to memorize and will result in a shawl with the look of a more experienced knitter.
Kathy Norris designed the Floating Cables Wrap. A bit of bead work entwined with the cables makes this mesh fabric, rectangular shawl a perfect wrap for an evening out. The shawl is the new scarf and in Field of Daisies Shawl by Tabitha's Heart this serves that dual purpose. The double yarn over's worked in the pattern, create the daisy petal openings. Knit in a triangular shaped starting with three stitches and growing from there.
