Old Magic

Old Magic is a large shawl that has a lovely drape and just the perfect amount of volume. The allover lace pattern is beautiful to behold (but simple to work) and the possibilities for the undulating waves of color at the edge are nearly endless!

To begin working this shawl, you will create a garter neck band. Turning the work 90 degrees, stitches are picked up in a similar fashion to a traditional garter tab cast on and the shawl is worked in 6 sections. The extra fullness provided by the Beginning and End Wings will allow the shawl to wrap cozily around you and stay in place—no fussing with a shawl slipping off your shoulders! The Sparkle Lace motif is worked throughout the body of the fabric, transitioning to intriguing waves of Old Shale lace, punctuated by a gradient of color flowing through the end of the shawl.

Instructions are provided charted and fully written for your convenience.
