Leith Cable Lace Shawl

This shawl features a unique cable stitch that is combined with a better known of the faggotting stitches. Combined, they make a striking shawl. It is a fun knit, and goes fairly quickly as it’s knit using heavy fingering weight yarn. For those of you that enjoy knitting cable lace, I think this cable will intrigue you. Even most veteran cable knitters will probably find this particular cable new and different from most that they have knitted.

The stitches are both charted out only.

Skill level: Intermediate (assuming a working knowledge of cable and lace knitting).

The shawl shown in the sample was made with Handmaiden’s Casbah yarn in colorway, Kelpie.

There are also instructions contained within the pattern for a crochet edging.

Any heavy fingeringweight yarn or sport weight yarn wiill work for this pattern, and no crochet hooks are needed if you don't want to crochet the optional edging.
