Product Description

Inspired by Shetland lace the shawl features the 'Traditional Scalloped Lace' motif. Designed as the perfect introduction to charted lace, this shawl is knitted sideways with the border worked as you knit the body. Worked using a percentage system, the shawl works across all yarn weights and a variety of yardages.
The lace is provided as written instructions and fully charted. The soothing garter stitch provides a welcome break from the lace sections. This is a great first lace project. The pattern comes with a separate document that gives you an overview of how to read lace charts for knitting.
