This Delicious Solitude

Solitude is a beaded, crescent shaped shawl, designed with the joy of quiet time in mind. Sometimes there is nothing more enjoyable than curling up with some beautiful yarn and intricate, but not too complex, lace.

This is a crescent shaped shawl, with inbuilt shaping in the transition to lace, which gives a generous flare to the edging, and creates a longer shape with less depth, perfect for wrapping and elegant draping.

The edging uses a variation of a stitch pattern by Naomi Parkhurst of Gannet Designs, based on the word Solitude, and is perfect for a big night in, hiding at home with some yarn. :)

• Optional beading adds a subtle sparkle to the lace.
• Both the body pattern and the edging lace sections are repeatable, allowing the shawl to be adapted to a range of yardages.
• Suits lace to fingering weight yarn.
• Can be worked entirely from the written pattern, or from charts with notes.
