#151 Samantha Featherweight Lace Shawl
Is it a lace shawl or a scarf? The beauty of this versatile accessory is that it can be either, depending on how you choose to wear it each day. One thing is certain: you will absolutely adore this delicate wisp of a masterpiece! Crafted from a luxurious blend of mohair and silk, the lace weight yarn is not only supremely soft to knit with but also a joy to wear against your skin, making it the perfect accessory for any occasion.
This enchanting shawl begins at the top center and features three sets of eyelet increases, which elegantly fan out the stitches into a semi-circular form. As you progress, the two side eyelet increase sets are shifted toward the edges when the lace pattern is initiated, resulting in a stunning final triangular shape that drapes beautifully.
The intricate lace pattern showcases a very open double-leaf design, which perfectly complements the Stockinette stitch and culminates in a gently peaked border that will turn heads. This shawl not only adds a splash of sophistication to your wardrobe but also serves as a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels.
The sample was beautifully knit using Elann Silken Kydd, a yarn known for its luxurious feel and exceptional drape. For those looking for alternative options, a substitute yarn is suggested below. Whether you’re making this stunning shawl for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, it's sure to become a cherished piece in any knitters collection!
