Nantan Lace Cluster Shawl

This fingering weight shawl is created two very unique stitches. I think you’ll find it fun to make and to wear. The cluster stitches add a dimension to the shawl that’s rarely seen in knitting pattern. The result is a unique and elegant shawl. Both of the stitches come to us from Japan. If you have not done any cluster stitches (smocking), this is an excellent pattern to learn on.

Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming some lace knitting experience)

The border and focal stitch are both charted and written out line by line.

Any heavy fingering weight yarn or sport weight yarn will work for this pattern.  No crochet hooks are needed if you don't want to do the optional edging.
