Mt. Rose Shawl

The Mt Rose Shawl has a wide wingspan for an otherwise small shawl. It wraps snugly around the shoulders and stays there. This is a result of double increases along the side which are made possible by a border that allows this increased expansion along the sides. The border mimics the the center of the shawl.

This shawl is made with Svana, a 2-ply laceweight made of 100% Icelandic lambswool from Jorstad Creek. It is soft and warm; it also shows the stitch pattern beautifully.

The Mt Rose Shawl can be made with or without beads. The small crochet hook is only needed if you are adding beads to your shawl. You will need approximately 260 size 6 seed beads for the pattern as written. A larger shawl can be made with additional repeats of the stitch pattern in the body. Of course, a larger shawl will require more yarn and more beads.
