Simple Lace Shawl

The simplest version of this shawl may be worked in any yarn and on any size needle—a textured novelty yarn knits up quickly into a spectacular fringed wrap. For a light and lacy traditional shawl, choose a fingering yarn and knit the version which ends with lace border that is easy to master.

Finished Size: 72 to 78 inches across top edge; 34 to 38 inches at center back, depending on choice of yarn, gauge and blocking method.

Yarn Requirements:

for lacy version:  1,100 to 1,400 yds of fingering weight yarn; yardage will vary with finished size, gauge and needle

for simplest version:   700 to 1,000 yards of novelty yarn; yardage will vary with finished size and length of fringe.
