The Catskills Lace Cuneate Shawl by Linda Lehman
What is Being Made
The Catskills Lace Cuneate is a lightweight knitted shawl designed as an isosceles cuneate wrap. This downloadable knitting pattern creates a wearable garment suitable for layering and everyday wear, with a construction that produces a mock cable and lace effect throughout the piece.
Craft and Techniques
This project is a knitting pattern that incorporates Japanese-inspired stitch techniques to create both decorative lace work and subtle cable effects. The design is classified as Beginner + to Intermediate level, assuming knitters have foundational knowledge of basic knitting and purling techniques, lace work construction, and cable knitting methods. The pattern demonstrates how traditional Japanese stitches can be combined to produce a lightweight, elegant finished garment.
Stitches Used
The Catskills Lace Cuneate features two primary stitches, both originating from Japanese knitting traditions. These stitches work together to create a mock cable effect paired with lace patterning throughout the shawl. The combination of these techniques produces an open, airy fabric suitable for a lightweight wrap.
Materials and Specifications
- Yarn: 1000 to 1200 yards of lightweight fingering weight yarn (4-ply)
- Needles: U.S. Size #5 (3.5mm) needles with at least a 32-inch cable length
- Additional Supplies: Stitch markers (optional), row counter (optional), and darning needle for finishing
- Gauge: Approximately 5.5 stitches per inch and 8½ rows per inch in either lace stitch pattern when moderately blocked
Pattern Notes
The designer notes that while gauge is provided as a reference, it is not critically important to match exactly. However, variations in gauge will affect the final sizing and yarn yardage requirements. Knitters are advised to adjust needle size if necessary to achieve the specified gauge for predictable results. The finished size specifications are included in the complete downloadable pattern.
