The Rose of Allendale Lace Shawl

Skill level: experienced. The finished shawl is 79” (200cm) in diameter.

I used 1250 yards of Unique Sheep Marici lace yarn on circular 3.5mm needles.

This shawl is the second in a series of patterns inspired by traditional songs. The Rose of Allendale is a girl called Mary, who leaves her home in the highlands to accompany her love in his travels across the seas. The pattern displays petals and leaves against a mesh background; the three main sections grow wider like ripples on the water.
